MDIA 384: CREATIVE COMMUNICATION
Spring 2027 · Section 001 · CRN 26367
How can creative forms of communication help us respond to the climate crisis and other urgent problems? How much does fictional media actually change peoples' minds? This course examines these and related questions by considering examples of creative communication for social change (such as film, TV, standup comedy, social media, memes, and graffiti) and situating them within research on influence and persuasion from communication studies, psychology, and sociology. For their final project, students will apply these lessons by crafting their own creative communication on a topic of their choice. Cross-list: ENST 384. Mutually Exclusive: Cannot register for MDIA 384 if student has credit for ENGL 207/ENST 207.
