Students at a top California university can now take a course devoted to selfies.

Officially, the first-year class is called Writing and Critical Reasoning: Identity and Diversity, although on the University of Southern California campus it is better known as #SelfieClass

The course explores how people construct "an image of their identity - their gender, their ethnicity, their sexuality, their socioeconomic status" in selfies, says associate professor Mark Marino. It also examines the audience response to each image, a process he describes as "the co-creation of identity".
