Important Note:
The CCI program reserves a specific number of seats for CCI minors during the registration period. To determine how many seats are being held for each course, you can check the notes section in the registration system. In the event that a course you are interested in is already full at the time of registration, we recommend that you place yourself on the waitlist. It is not uncommon for spots to open up during the first two weeks of classes.
It is important to carefully read the course descriptions before registering, especially for courses such as 203 and 304, which may cover different main topics depending on the semester. This will help ensure that you choose the courses that align with your academic interests and goals.
CCI 100 Introduction to Creative and Cultural Industries:
Section 01- T/Th 10-11:15am
Section 02- T/TH 1-2:15pm
This class will provide students with an introduction to the key concepts in the field of the Creative and Culture industries. Central to the course will be the exploration of how culture is used both at an institutional level and in everyday life as well as the idea of culture and cultural production and how these concepts have been understood and have changed throughout history. The main goal being to help the students to explore the definitions and wider implications of the Creative and Cultural Industries in order to consolidate students’ knowledge of the multiple meanings associated with this term.
CCI 203-01 Contemporary Issues in CCI- Experiencing Creative and Cultural Industries:
Section 01- M/W 1-2:15pm
This course explores how CCI constructs experiences to engage our senses, heighten our emotions, challenge our view of the world, capture the past and reimagine the future. From theme park rides to watching a film, from VR gaming to styling our clothes, from music concerts to festivals, each CCI has developed ways in which we are drawn into an experience of desire, wonder, and excitement. We will look at how different CCI have constructed ways to mediate the world and reinvent themselves through the use of experiences. We will examine how different emotions are stirred and manipulated (joy, awe, fear, anxiety, bliss) through these experiences.
CCI 203-02 Contemporary Issues in CCI- Sustainable Fashion
Section 02- T/Th 2:30-3:45pm
This course will study sustainable fashion through a holistic approach that considers the past, present, and future of clothing consumption. The fashion industry is responsible for 10% of humanity’s carbon emissions and 20% of global wastewater. We will explore how designers, organizations, and movements are responding to issues of worker exploitation and environmental pollution. We will examine methods of sustainable production, the role of policy in the fight for change, and the discourse surrounding “sustainability” in the fashion industry. We will explore how the current fashion system was shaped by the radical transformation of clothing consumption in the twentieth century and how innovations in the twenty-first century are leading towards a sustainable future.
CCI 301 Studies in Cultural Institutions- Cultural Diplomacy:
Section 01- M/W 2:30-3:415pm
Section 02- M/W 4-5:15pm
Studies in Cultural Institutions will provide an overview of the varying approaches and ways we find the creative and cultural industries at play in the world through institutions. It will contribute to a framework for creative based global solutions implemented at the local level with themes of social justice, social entrepreneurship, and social engagement. This course will allow students to apply concepts directly to their areas of interest and focus of study, for the purpose of exploring where they might work after graduation.
CCI 304-01 CCI in Practice- Podcasting:
Section 01- M 7-9:50pm
This section of CCI 304 allows students to contribute a segment for a reboot of the Catalyst Podcast, a podcast that focused on the art and the artists of Chapman University. Students who come out of this 300 level class will know how to produce, edit, host, market and launch their own podcast, and the Catalyst podcast would give them an opportunity to run a network, and give Chapman students an opportunity to subscribe, listen, and then learn about all of the talented students on the campus.
CCI 304-02- CCI in Practice- Fashion:
Section 02- Fri 1-3:50pm
This course provides a review of fashion as a cultural industry, examining the production
systems and commercial institutions that comprise the contemporary global fashion industry. Approached in divided framework of two parts, this course will begin by establishing history and methods of production which shape the structures of fashion. In the second half of the semester, students will engage in critical discussions on the intersection of fashion and identity, ethics, and politics.
CCI 329-01 Experimental- Health Equity Through the Arts:
Section 01- W 7-9:50pm
This course will explore the historical and contemporary artists and movements that have used art and creative expression to address issues of health equity with regard to mental health, chronic illness, disease, disability, maternal mortality, death and dying, trans rights, reproductive health, the AIDS crisis, the Covid pandemic, health insurance, art therapy, trauma informed artistic processes, and more. Students will study the ways in which creative cultural producers have sought to document, memorialize, raise awareness, change laws, and advocate for health equity. Students in this course will write a research paper on the Health Equity topic of their choosing, and will produce either an exhibition or a panel discussion on a relevant topic of Health Equity through the Arts.
CCI 444- Media, Culture and Emotion:
Section 01- Tue 1-3:50pm
This course analyzes emerging artistic, political and ethical considerations of identity and emotion – how we care for and interpret the body. We consider how technology has intervened in our understanding of the ‘natural’ body and subsequent influences on our construction of self and others. To do so students will be looking at new and emerging technology, media platforms through personal, local, national and global perspectives
