The Pop Culture Classroom: Advocating Education For The Digital Adolescent, T'Khiyah Trice-Wilford
Honors College Theses
The purpose of this research is to analyze visual mass media and its effects on adolescents' identity and their psychological, cognitive, socio-emotional, and moral development within educational settings. A particular emphasis is on how mass media has influenced adolescents since the turn of the century.

Political Science Theses and Capstones
