The Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) is seeking an instructor to teach an in-person course entitled Music, Media and Public Spheres, for the CIEE Open Campus program over the upcoming Fall Open Campus.
This course examines music markets and the ongoing evolution of the music industry with a focus on the cultural and social influence of music, the changing perspective of music consumers, and the role of artists and producers. Students will learn about varying debates and models within the music industry, the interaction of music with other media, and the intersection of traditional music forms (radio, records, and concerts) with new technologies such as on-line audio streaming. The course will also explore the importance and economic contribution of popular and alternative music festivals. Utilizing the city as a field site for study, this course will encourage students to engage with a range of music performances and events. The course is taught using a dynamic mix of lectures, case study discussions, student presentations, and a field trip to a local music label.
Course instruction takes place on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays in 2.5 hour blocks per teaching day over a 6 week period. Each course comprises 45 contact hours or a total of 16 class sessions, encompassing lectures at the CIEE London Centre and co-curricular excursions. Our instructors also provide one office hour per week where they are available to meet students.
Course dates: November 11, - December 21,
