Film Studies 270 - COLQ:MAKING KNOWLEDGE

This colloquium examines the life cycle of knowledge ­making: studying what it means to produce knowledge, how one decides how (and with whom) to share one’s knowledge, and the implications of having the privilege to engage in such projects. We study a range of questions: Who desires knowledge, and why? When do data and information become knowledge? How does knowledge become wisdom? Students work collaboratively and independently on public scholarship projects, develop expertise in digital critique and seminar­ style discussion, and present work to a range of different publics. Enrollment by instructor permission, limit of 12.
