Hi All,
An instructor contacted recently with the following request:
We are creating a Pop Culture Sociology course and we are looking for an OER. Course
Description:
Using a multi-disciplinary approach, students will explore and examine popular culture as
one of the most significant cultural and social agents in contemporary society. Learners
will study the emergence of pop culture studies and a range of diverse theoretical
approaches including critical studies of gender, sexuality and race. Students will
consider a variety of mediums such as music, video games, social media, art,
film/television, fashion and celebrity. Finally, learners will study and reflect on the
role of popular culture in the development of individual identity and group/community
identity and action
I've checked the usual locations (OpenStax, OERCommons, MERLOT, BCcampus, eCampus
Ontario, OASIS, Open Textbook Library, OASIS, OpenOregon, OAPEN) but I wanted to reach out
in case there is a gem in a local repository. I think the instructor is looking for
something equivalent to John Storey's textbook:

Any leads are appreciated!
Cheers,
Jessica

Oki, Amba'wastitch, Danit'ada, Tân'si, Hello. I would like to acknowledge
that SAIT is situated on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which,
today encompasses the Indigenous people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta: the
Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina, the Stoney Nakoda First Nations, the
Northwest Métis Homeland - Region 3. The City of Calgary is part of a region that the
Blackfoot tribes of Southern Alberta described as Moh'kinsstis, meaning
'Elbow,' in reference to its location at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow
rivers.
