Section Description

This course explores the intersections between globalization and popular culture.

Topics to be covered include popular music, film, comedy, celebrity/influencer culture, and activism and we will explore how they are both situated in and move between locations including the United States, Europe, Tanzania, Nigeria, South Africa, Korea, Japan, Australia, Egypt, and Brazil.
