LIT 503 - Literature, Art & Media: Birth - Grade 12

This course will explore children’s literature, adolescent literature, art, and other media that speak to students about the realities structuring their social lives. A literary, critical and aesthetic approach to literature, art, and media, informed by cultural studies, will serve as the theoretical framework for inquiry. In a classroom atmosphere that promotes dialogue, candidates will think about how students and teachers together can see how texts work to construct their world, their cultures and their identities in ideological ways and how texts can be used as social tools for re-constructing identities, cultures and worldviews.
