Is there any class in this class? Class sensitivity in higher media education

Abstract

We all live surrounded by media representations of social classes. The aim of this article is to reflect the implications of class differences in higher media education. The challenges of social class in media studies are bidimensional: what is taught and how it is taught. First I ask how to focus more on social class when analyzing media contents in higher media education? Secondly I ask, what does it mean, that class marks everybody involved in learning situations, both students and teachers? Thirdly, I try to make some concrete proposals for teaching.
