AHI 376 IMAGINE HOME
This course is a history of images that shape and confine American ideas of home. Students will study the cultural meanings conveyed by building and product design, art, film, and mass media; the social values and norms they fix or break; and the exclusions and inequities they fight or help sustain. Through research, field trips, and creative work, students will analyze local residences.
