Course Description:
This course will examine various ethical considerations and approaches at the intersection of creative practice, social justice, and the creative industries. Emphasizing the history of art and social change, the course will explore the ethical responsibilities of individuals within the creative industries to develop frameworks that guide their practices.
Topics will include ethical considerations in media communication, feminism, decolonization, racism, transhumanism, and emerging technologies (such as AI, surveillance, etc.). The course will also explore how creative practices and industries can be continually challenged and revised by diverse perspectives, including those from Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Near and Middle Eastern communities, and racialized people, with an intersectional focus on feminist, queer, trans, and critical disability studies, among others.
By the end of the course, students will learn how to apply this knowledge and implement an ethical framework within their creative practices and organizations, culminating in a public exhibition. This course is open to non-majors.
