Spring 2020 - Prepare to open you eyes and consider media from perspectives you may never have considered before. Lunenfeld's classes, especially this one, are nothing basic. You will delve into interesting and dense topics regarding the history of media and where it is going. These concepts are not particularly easy - but participate in the discussion and the lectures and you will find it enriching. The readings in this class can be hard, but they are some of the most interesting and perhaps revolutionary I have read at UCLA.
