Join a vibrant and creative community at one of the most international and diverse media programs in the country. Media Studies MA This MA provides a solid preparation for careers in areas such as film, interactive media, communications, nonprofit and community organizing, and education. Learn More. Media Studies alum Sam Feder's recent documentary Disclosure is an unprecedented, eye-opening look at the depiction of transgender people in film and television, revealing how Hollywood simultaneously reflects and manufactures our deepest anxieties about gender.
The film, which Feder directed alongside executive producer and three-time-Emmy-nominated actress Laverne Cox, saw its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
The documentary is now available to stream on Netflix. Intelligent rated universities and colleges with graduate degrees in the management of media, entertainment, and related fields. Their films, all of which were created during their time at The New School, were selected as a part of the festival's University Showcase series.
Chronicling the final three years of Martin Luther King, Jr. Grant amounts depend on the location of the conference and the number of applications received. Each year, graduate students have the opportunity to apply for undergraduate research assistance. We select two-three projects and fund a research assistant to support the graduate's work. Each year, BCNM provides seed funding for student-led conferences. These awards are available by petition to the director and program officer.
Cubicles are available by application on the fourth floor of Sutardja Dai Hall. The BCNM also administers Moffitt, which can be booked for classes, office hours, seminars, and meetings.
The BCNM strives to provide its graduate students with opportunities for teaching experience. Each year, the center employs three to six GSIs graduate student instructors to staff small discussions or assist with grading its three core courses. The BCNM seeks to offer summer session courses and encourages its students to apply for these positions. For more information, visit the Berkeley Center for New Media website.
Terms offered: Fall , Spring , Fall This course provides a broad historical and theoretical background for new media production and practice. The class will map out theoretical approaches from different disciplines and allow graduate students to discuss and apply them to their own research projects. Prerequisites: Graduate standing or consent of instructor. Required for all students in the Designated Emphasis in New Media.
Students will enhance skills in questioning new media: how to think critically about new media, how to use new media resources to research pioneering work in new media, how to form incisive questions about new media, and how to evaluate and create effective presentations on topics in new media. Required of all students in the Designated Emphasis in New Media. Terms offered: Fall In this methods course we will study key languages of new media innovation, ranging from flow charts to scripting languages and circuit diagrams.
Our study method involves the creation and application of sensing devices in an urban context, and engages students in establishing chains of references which connect ground truth to data, data to information, information to people, people to actions, and actions to policies.
Taking into account technical, political, cultural and literacy questions we seek to connect our data production work with information needs of underserved communities in the Bay Area region. Summer: 6 weeks - 9 hours of seminar per week 8 weeks - 6 hours of seminar per week 10 weeks - 5 hours of seminar per week. As hybrid practitioners, students will develop fluency in readily collaging and incorporating a variety of physical materials and protocols into their practice.
Students will envision and create future computational experiences that critically explore social and culturally relevant technological themes. No previous technical knowledge is required to take this course. Class projects involve basic programming, electronic circuitry, and digital fabrication design. Tutorials and instruction will be provided, but students will be expected to develop basic skills in these areas to complete course projects. Summer: 6 weeks - 4 hours of lecture and 8 hours of studio per week 8 weeks - 4 hours of lecture and 4 hours of studio per week 10 weeks - 3 hours of lecture and 3 hours of studio per week.
Terms offered: Spring , Fall Critical Practices is a hands-on studio design course where students work at the intersection of technological innovation and socially engaged art. Students will integrate a suite of digital fabrication tools with social design methods to create work that engages in cultural critique. Working with innovative technologies and radical, new art practices, this course will explore: hybrid art forms, critical design for community engagement, interventions in public spaces, tactical media, and disobedient objects.
These new making strategies will reframe our notions of people, places and participation. Summer: 6 weeks - 10 hours of studio per week 8 weeks - 7. The PhD in Communication, New Media and Cultural Studies equips students with skills that are crucial for our digital, knowledge-based economy. These include advanced research skills appropriate for work in the policy, not-for-profit and education sectors; high-level cultural, social and digital literacies; knowledge of and ability to innovate in modes and methods of communication; and the capacity for analyzing and engaging complex systems and problems.
CNMCS can prepare students for work in a wide range of sectors not only including education, but also the public service, the arts and the private sector.
Since our founding in , each cohort has been diverse in terms of background and interests, and accordingly, we expect that our graduates will follow very different paths. Stay tuned for when our first cohort of PhD students will graduate! Our program benefits from the close interaction between faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students. Graduate students participate in many aspects of departmental life, as teaching assistants and sometimes as assistants in research initiatives headed by faculty members.
Graduate students are encouraged to attend events by visiting speakers across the university and are given opportunities, where possible, to perform and deliver guest lectures, and attend invited talks. Students in our doctoral program are eligible to participate in the Gender Studies and Feminist Research Graduate Diploma.
Occasionally, students may be allowed to begin the Graduate Diploma in their third year of the PhD, but no later. Communication policy and law, intellectual property and copyright, crowdfunding, media and social movements activism. About the Program The challenges we face today—social and environmental injustice, climate change, precarious work, surveillance and a shrinking public sphere—are complex and multifaceted.
