Looking for Sociology of Pop Culture resources
Hi All, An instructor contacted recently with the following request: We are creating a Pop Culture Sociology course and we are looking for an OER. Course Description: Using a multi-disciplinary approach, students will explore and examine popular culture as one of the most significant cultural and social agents in contemporary society. Learners will study the emergence of pop culture studies and a range of diverse theoretical approaches including critical studies of gender, sexuality and race. Students will consider a variety of mediums such as music, video games, social media, art, film/television, fashion and celebrity. Finally, learners will study and reflect on the role of popular culture in the development of individual identity and group/community identity and action I've checked the usual locations (OpenStax, OERCommons, MERLOT, BCcampus, eCampus Ontario, OASIS, Open Textbook Library, OASIS, OpenOregon, OAPEN) but I wanted to reach out in case there is a gem in a local repository. I think the instructor is looking for something equivalent to John Storey's textbook: https://www.routledge.com/Cultural-Theory-and-Popular-Culture-An-Introductio... Any leads are appreciated!

I would like to acknowledge that SAIT is situated on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which, today encompasses the Indigenous people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta: the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina, the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, the Northwest Métis Homeland - Region 3. The City of Calgary is part of a region that the Blackfoot tribes of Southern Alberta described as Moh'kinsstis, meaning 'Elbow,' in reference to its location at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers.
Hi all, I have taught pop culture in the US online for about a decade. I've created all my videos and put them on YouTube with CC license. Many of them have been informed by Storey and Cullen's pop culture teaching texts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtZptnQ98JwsaX31hsCi5PJeTUVL_PhX8 I also have all of my written stuff (Learning guides, assignments, syllabus, etc) with CC licenses and located here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1i8Fm8adSHvHIcqNn-p5wdxCHNs-3a7gj?usp... Hope that might be helpful in the build! On Tue, Oct 26, 2021 at 4:50 PM Jessica Norman <jessica.norman(a)sait.ca> wrote:
