The seminar engages the critical studies literature on race, gender and the media to think through the politics of beauty. Special theoretical emphasis will be given to how scholars across various disciplines (art history, cinema studies, cultural studies, literary studies, media studies) think through the ways beauty and the gendered and raced body are defined, disciplined and consumed by audiences. Throughout the semester the politics of beauty and representation will be analyzed by engaging in a comparative analysis of specific ethnic groups, among them African American, Asian American, Latinas/os and South Asians. Weekly class discussions will focus around specific case studies and media examples. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

This is an EOTU (Ethnography of the University) course. Meets with LLS 496 sect JC, SOC 496 sect JC, and SOC 596 sect JC. This is a combined undergrad/grad research colloquium modeled after the Policy Research Projects which were a major curricular innovation of the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. The initial focus of the Diversity Research Project would be multidisciplinary research and scholarship to review and evaluate various surveys and other approaches that have been or could be used to assess the UIUC campus climate as it is perceived by racialized minority students and faculty.
