Since the cable television series began in 2007, Mad Men has garnered a devoted following and dozens of awards—and for good reason. Behind all the drinking, smoking, and carousing of the characters, and the slick mid-century modern décor of the fictional advertising agency of Sterling Cooper, lies a well-made, well-written dramatization of the people and machinery behind the shaping and manipulation of consumer culture.
The show also provides glimpses into the political and social climate of the early 1960s, one of the most turbulent and transitional periods in American history. This class, which will take place during the long break between Season Five and the presumed final season, is part appreciation of the show’s design and part investigation into issues that lie beneath.
