What students need are the critical tools to be able to unpack all of the messages conveyed by that imagery.” Whether she is pointing out how advertising drives glossy women’s magazines’ editorial content or revealing the personal agendas news sources may nurse, Huntemann hopes her graduate students will engage with the media around them—and become more engaged citizens in the process. “The majority of our students are either currently or aspiring to be working in the persuasion professions,” she says. “They are learning to convince demographics to agree with the message that they’re crafting. It’s ethically important for them to understand all of the implications of their influence. I think that leads them to become not only public relations professionals, but responsible citizens.” Huntemann, whose academic research focuses on media literacy and video games, is currently editing her first book, Joystick Soldiers: The Politics of Play in Military Video Games, which is scheduled for a spring 2009 release. mkt 814 Strategic Marketing* † Note that this course may be waived for students with appropriate undergraduate backgrounds or work experience.
