Mission-Driven Engagement

At the POPOLOGY Academy for Media Arts our programs are designed to empower learners of all ages with 21st-century media skills through education, creativity, and ethical technology. As a nonprofit steward of digital equity, we serve communities through programs that combine media literacy, blockchain transparency, artistic expression, and citizen empowerment.

POPOLOGY® is designed to introduce you to a variety of critical approaches used in the study of popular culture. Although this science will draw on your familiarity with popular culture, we will approach the subject from a scholarly perspective. The overall objective is to explore how “popular” is defined by an individual, in each &, all of its various forms, not only reflects the world around us, yet also how it influences the way we perceive the world.
