This course will provide an introduction to UMass and two central theories of education through a critical media analysis of Harry Potter. The class will use the excerpts from the first book, and film clips, to explore education as meritocracy, and community based education. We will end with a look at how student activists have used the characters of Harry Potter in humor and resistance.
Open to First-Year students only.
