I love pop culture. I love to be inside of it, and step outside and look back in. —Nick Rhodes, member of the band Duran Duran

In Weeks 1–4 of this course, you will work on assignments that contribute to your Final Project, which is due in Week 5. As in the quote from Nick Rhodes above, you will be inside of pop culture, step outside of it, and then look back in as you closely analyze a single issue across multiple pop culture artifacts.
