Course Description

Given the importance of media in children’s lives and the significant amount of time they spend on screens, this seminar introduces the ever-changing field of children’s media (cartoons, animations, etc.) to its participants. The seminar will have an interdisciplinary approach, borrowing ideas from child development, education, and mass media, and incorporating them with diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) principles. In our sessions, we will discuss media content, children’s engagement with media, caregivers’ role in their children’s media habits, production techniques/principles, and cultural sensitivity. The materials in this seminar are mostly based on children’s media from the United States.
