Propaganda is a word that people often mistakenly associate with what the other does rather than what we do. This course will introduce theories relevant to the study of propaganda and examine strategies that propgandists employ in their efforts to direct the beliefs and attitudes of their audience. The course will focus on film and cartoon propoaganda of WWII and the Cold War, but will not be limited to that era or those media. Students will be asked to consider the ethical implications of propaganda use. The course is writing centered and discussion based.
