LGCS 166 PZ -Topics in Sociolinguistics Institution: Pitzer
Description: Topics in Sociolinguistics: Language, Gender, and Ethnicity in Disney
This course will explore how social identities are represented through language
variation in the Disney and Pixar films. We will look at the type of language that is
associated with masculinity or femininity in these films, as well as how queerness is
represented. Also, we will explore representations of different ethnic groups across
Disney films and other media. How is language used to present (often harmful) ideas
about different ethnic groups? Has any progress been made in these representations
over time? Students will conduct a sociolinguistic research project on language and
ideologies about gender and/or ethnicity in children’s media.
Prerequisite(s): LGCS 010 PZ and a sociolinguistics class such as 112 or 116. Please also check the current course schedule for requirements.
For up-to-date information on current course offerings and details, please refer to the Pitzer class schedule on MyCampus2 Portal.
