Course Description: Reality Television can be a window into our behavior that both represents us (or some of us) and shapes our perceptions of "what is real". This course takes a sociological eye to media studies to better understand what the public finds interesting and/or gripping, why a given show has a devoted audience, and how reality tv is structured, edited, (or invented) in order to create fan interest and loyalty and, perhaps, in some instances, greater understanding and empathy for specific issues and populations. We will be interested in the impact on all stakeholders: viewers, the people who are in the shows, and cultural perceptions of gender, race, class, and human nature.
