This class introduces the scholarly analysis of consumer culture and encourages critical inquiry through thinking and writing about the key moral, political and practical questions concerning consumer culture.  You should develop the ability to express and defend your own opinions of consumer culture as well as to question some of the cultural assumptions that many regard as natural or inevitable.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
