Environmental Justice: Same World, Different Built Environment
Environmental Justice will be explored in the context of the built environment. What unequal public built environmental threats exist? How can these threats be prevented or eliminated? Public schools, public parks, access to clean water, air pollution, tree coverage are among the built environments examined in the course.
What might a history of animation look like if we focus, not on its most glamorous achievements in movie theaters, but rather on its constant, ordinary presence our tv sets, computer screens, smartphones, and other household small screens? In this course, we'll trace that history and think about how shows like The Flintstones, The Simpsons, The Boondocks, Bojack Horseman, Adventure Time, and Bluey have constantly redefined who the audience for animation is supposed to be.
