    The role of media and popular culture in the lives of youth is examined in this special topics course. Questions concerning youth identity and development, the social construction of popular culture, the societal and cultural impacts of popular culture, media use by youth, and the acquisition of knowledge and power through media are explored. In particular, the course explores how social media and popular culture transforms and impacts youth psychologically, cognitively and socially. Students will then critically examine how this knowledge can guide and inform agencies and individuals working with youth such as educators, parents, social services, or media developers in order to support the healthy development and successful learning of youth. Through review of research articles, group discussions, personal reflections, and media examinations students will learn to apply research, along with experience, to develop evidence-based practices in their professions and personal roles. The goal of examining these topics is to support the healthy development and learning of youth for greater success in life.
