POL 1004 Bugs and Mickey Go to War: WWII Censorship and Propaganda
World War II is well-known for technological innovation, fascism, global diplomacy, and military conflicts. However, it also serves as an important historical example for censorship and propaganda. Cartoon characters, including those from Disney, Looney Tunes, and even Dr. Suess, were at the center in this effort. This course carefully studies censorship and propaganda across the globe during the war and asks students to critically analyze the propaganda pieces within their historical context. This course uses the platforms Moodle and Zoom, and is a blend of synchronous and asynchronous learning. Students need reliable internet access. Recommended for new and returning students.
