Drawing on a range of theoretical lenses, students critically examine the role of narrative meaning making in all forms of mediated communication from its origin as community bonding storytelling, to literature, drama, news, politics, digital games, and extended reality (AV/VR). Students, as future media makers, journalists, and communication professionals, connect media theory and their own practice to develop a rich understanding of the role of narrative in social construction of knowledge. Students examine a range of concepts and theories related to the role of narrative and meaning-making, including the work of Bruner, Herman and Coëgnart.
