This edited collection explores the contemporary interplay among three pivotal areas found in cultures around the world: communication, entertainment, and messages of social justice. Each chapter centralizes communication as instrumental in creating mediated messages pertaining to social justice, usually resulting in a more educated audience.

Using an accessible writing style, the contributors investigate both classic and contemporary social media, television, film, stage, radio, and podcast productions by employing both qualitative and quantitative methods. Furthermore, through case studies on topics including transphobia, indigenous comedy and drag performance, this book assesses key issues and themes portrayed in contemporary entertainment education. It provides a foundational framework for analysis by utilizing a broad range of theoretical models to explore representations of race, class, gender, advocacy, and pedagogy among others as well as their communication implications.

This book will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of Communication Studies, Popular Culture Studies, Media Studies, Theatre Studies, Social Justice Studies, Sociology, and Psychology.
