\n Congratulations to ASE Prof. Ben Carrington on winning the inaugural American Sociological Association, Stuart Hall Award for Cultural Sociology! \n <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n \n
\n\n \n
\n
Interested in working with Prof. Carrington? Consider taking his Fall 2024 course JOUR 300 Journalism and Society. The class is really about the role of journalism within society and a more Cultural Studies approach to journalism and the study of the media. Students in the course will examine topics such as news propaganda, conspiracy theories, power in the media, racial bias in reporting, truth and objectivity in journalism etc. The course should be of interest to ASE students who perhaps want to take a journalism course but one that is more focused on the social, cultural and political issues that shape journalism as an industry and field rather than learning about \u201chow to be a journalist\u201d per se.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This semester they will be following the US presidential election and how it is reported, as well as looking at how the media has been covering the conflict and war in Palestine\/Israel; both topics that are pressing and of interest to ASE students right now.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

DORINNE KONDO:\u00a0 It was my honor to chair his dissertation, an ethnographically compelling and incisive analysis of the writers\u2019 room\/ tv industry. We had many a lively discussion about theory and its utility or lack thereof. And I was lucky enough to meet his incredible mother.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Brilliant actress and director, Dean Anita Dashiell-Sparks, is always inspirational and brings such elegant grace to her work. Thank you for fostering the artistry of minoritarian students through USC SDA and in your own dazzling artistry!<\/div>\n

\n New Course for Spring 2022 | AMST 206m: The Politics and Culture of the “sixties”<\/a>\n <\/h3>\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n \n
\n\n \n

The Sixties was a time of turmoil and peace, utopian idealism and often-nightmarish brutality. It was a time when love was all \u2018you\u2019 needed, yet war was all around. It was the time of the Woodstock Nation and the Silent Majority, communes and the Manson family. It was the time of sex, rock \u2018n roll and drugs. It had Hippies and Yippies and Panthers, JFK and Nixon. And fifty years later, we are still trying to make sense of it. This course will examine this tumultuous period with all its contradictions and various movements. We will look at the \u2018good\u2019 Sixties and the \u2018bad\u2019 Sixties. We will read, watch and study a variety of texts from this messy time in order to gain a richer understanding of what this past has left us. And in the end, all those who have memories of the Sixties yet were never there, might discover that what they recall, what they have been sold by mass media over the years, is not quite adequate to this moment when things seemed so miraculously wonderful and often so profoundly banal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n \n \n \n
