- 1:00 PM1hPedagogy, Pop Culture, and Politics in the Social Science ClassroomThe entertainment industry thrives on constructing fictional worlds for global mass consumption. Writers build many fictional worlds upon political, economic, and cultural ideas borrowed from real-world events. In some cases, these concepts diverge from our understanding of pivotal theories in International Studies; other times, they align with frameworks we use to understand how the social world works. In exploring worlds from Barbie to Star Wars, this webinar discusses how we identify key concepts within fiction and how we can effectively engage students with film and television. The webinar includes pedagogical and applied ideas about how fictional media relates to key concepts, breakout sessions, and ways to engage students in workshops.
