Stream Outline

THIS STREAM IS FOR STUDENTS COMMENCING FROM 2016.

The aim of this minor stream is to provide you with a progressive, interdisciplinary understanding of the social, cultural and experiential impacts of media and communication technologies in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The minor stream starts with an accessible introduction to ways of thinking about the emergence and consequences of our contemporary media landscape. You will then be introduced to the present reality of complex global media, information and communication systems and networks that people access through a variety of increasingly digital technologies.

In terms of learning skills, the minor stream develops conceptual frameworks and modes of analysis through which you can understand and explain not only changes in the media, but also reasons for those changes and their social and affective consequences.
