This class uses television sitcoms from the 1950s onward to explore depictions of social and cultural life in America. Issues examined include representations of family life, work life, gender roles, racial relations, and selected specific issues such as abortion and drug use. Theories and research that examine media both as reflection and as cause of social change are presented in the class.
