Television & Change - 4 Weeks

Mon+Th, 6-8pm ET

4 weeks, Feb 3-27

As streaming options proliferate, we think of television today as a medium in upheaval. Television, however, has always been in flux. This course provides an overview of television theory and U.S. television history. We will watch and analyze a range of programming and explore ongoing shifts in television's relationship to audiences, technology, and other media forms in an effort to answer—and complicate—the question, "What is television?"
