When I enrolled in Media, Culture, and Identity, I was interested to find out the specifics, since these are all very broad terms. I read the course description and knew it would align with my undeclared communications major. I immediately went on ratemyprofessor<\/em>, but couldn\u2019t find anything. I went into the class with no idea what I was going to be taught. So far, this class has challenged what I think about different stereotypes amongst the Black and\/or queer lens. Listening to my peers share their stories has opened my eyes to the differences, but also the commonalities we share on and off campus. I am also taking Cultural Studies, and there are many overlaps between these classes. In terms of my goals for this course, I want to be able to read, write, and think from a critical perspective. Whether it\u2019s a simple article on the lighting of media or the more complicated concepts such as the speculative fiction of blackness or disidentification, I\u00a0 want to be able to see these ideas as unique and important to the world that I live in.
