Douglas Kellner is one of the leading scholars of media culture and pedagogy. In “Cultural Studies, Multiculturalism, and Media Culture,” Kellner (2003) discusses the contributions of a cultural studies approach to media critique. What are these contributions? Why are they valuable to our study of youth, schools, and race in film?
Later in the chapter, Kellner argues for an approach that is critical and multiperspectival. What does this mean? How does one achieve or move toward that? Why is it of importance?
