PWR1A classes are small, workshop-style meetings that encourage extensive interaction between students and instructors. The course asks, what does popular culture say about the larger culture and uses questions about popular culture - music, movies, sports - for writing and researching. How do video games teach engineering and physics? How do detective and courtroom dramas lead to discussions about DNA analysis? We look at pop culture as cultural critics, using ideas about technology, society, and economics to analyze human behavior. We will study theories about media to research how everyday artifacts are both trashy and poignant signs of our culture. We will write an analytical essay about cultural commentary, learn about library research to explore topics of your choice, and share our research. We will work together as a group to practice collaboration and project-based learning. Enrollment is intended for varsity student-athletes. PWR1A does not meet the Stanford first-year writing requirement.
