ST-Stories of Race/US

ST-Divrsty&Inclusion/Hollywood

Hollywood. It's a word, an image, a place, and a business. Given popular discourses about Hollywood that imagine film and television industries as confronted with a "diversity problem" to solve, this course offers a critical awareness around notions of inclusivity and progress in screen media. In recent years, women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people have achieved remarkable access, overcoming historical barriers to participation as cultural producers, however those barriers are structural, and it remains unclear whether lasting change is sustainable.

ST: Landscape and Memory
