Latinx Film Festival

Latinx Cinema has built a reputation for paradigm-shifting takes on less-often cinematized themes of intersectional oppressions across the hemisphere, films that challenge the assumption of monolingual communication, and that reach the hearts and minds of US, Latin American, and Latinx audiences.

S-International SciFi Cinema

This course provides an introduction to science fiction cinema from the end of the nineteenth century to today. Beginning with the experiments of the Melies Brothers and the importance of German Expressionist films like Fritz Lang's Metropolis, the course considers technological prognostication from Destination Moon to 2001: A Space Odyssey, adventure and science fiction in films like Forbidden Planet and Star Wars, and the dystopian imagination from Invasion of the Body Snatchers to District 9.

Freedom & Responsibility

Are we free? Do we possess the freedom necessary for moral responsibility? What form of freedom is necessary for moral responsibility? Is this freedom compatible with causal determinism? To be morally responsible for an action, must its agent have been able to act otherwise? Must she have chosen her own character? These are the main questions we shall address in this course. To address them, we shall read works by Hume, Reid, Chisholm, Ayer, Strawson, Frankfurt, Nagel, and others.

Limited to 25 students. Spring semester. Professor Shah.
