This course explores Hollywood's current fascination with race and gender as social issues and spectacles. In particular, we will focus on the ways that social difference have become the sites of increasingly conflicted narrative and visual interactions in our films. To examine competing representations of racial difference and sexual difference in contemporary US culture, we analyze popular films of the 1980s and 1990s, from thrillers to action films to comedies.

This course will provide a brief overview of the teen film genre with particular attention to how gender/racial roles are constructed on screen. Historically these kinds of popular films have been subsumed under the broader category of ‘girl culture’. How has this gendering changed over time and what are some of the tropes it has produced? We will begin the course by studying how the category of “the teen” is a relatively recent invention of the postwar period. In terms of its origins, how is teen film a distinctly American genre? And more specifically, what is the difference between a teen film and a film about teens? What kind of commentary do these films offer, formally or narratively, about gender and race? This class will draw from visual and cultural studies, as we will address film theory, gender studies, popular culture, and critical race theory.

What is poverty, who are “the poor”? How do we begin to uncover their history? This course will answer these questions by examining the prevalent themes of the history of poverty and various groups that made up (and continue to make up) “the poor” including the financially impoverished, the homeless, refugees, immigrants, marginalized communities, the physically and mentally disabled, and the diseased. Utilizing this intersectional definition of “the poor” we will begin to understand the complications inherent in our understanding of poverty, voluntary versus involuntary, its relationship to justice, law, and the distinctions between charity, choice, welfare, and criminality in the medieval and early modern worlds. This course is online-only, but students will have the ability to complete a remote community-engaged project. Class will meet synchronously Mon/Thurs and asynchronously Tues/Weds. Materials (incl. readings, podcasts, and videos) will be posted on Blackboard. There is no textbook for this course.

Course is online only. This course asks a simple question. How does film challenge our traditional ideas about history and historical writing? This course will go beyond asking whether any given film is an accurate representation of an event, and examine how historiophoty (history in visual images and film based discourse) can convey the subtle, complex, and critical aspects of historical thinking. Historians always make editorial (directorial?) decisions about how to present events and ideas. By using film as a medium, rather than writing, students will be forced to think through what makes any given account of the past “historical”. Introducing students to the different possibilities available in film and writing allows them to see more clearly how the distortions inherent in each effect the presentation of history

Class is online and will have regular weekly meeting hours but will mostly be offered as asynchronous. In the early days of the film industry women were more present writing, directing, producing and acting than at any other point in film history. In this course, we will try to understand the shift the industry went through in the 1930s and untangle the urgency of questions of female representation and empowerment while contemporary Hollywood is attempting to recover from the Weinstein case. Who were the first women directors? What influence did female spectatorship have on film industry? What mechanisms were put into place to sexually and racially segregate labor? What role did cross-dressing in film play in lesbian legibility before and after Hollywood? The class will survey these questions through film analyses, exploration of primary sources, and close reading of secondary texts in GSW and film studies. Inherent to this course will be interrogating how to revisit, represent and write women’s history.

Whether in the prose fiction of Joseph Conrad or in popular TV shows such as Atlanta, we repeatedly see the horror genre manifesting itself in unique ways in the New World -- due in part, perhaps, to the legacy of genocide, slavery, and unprecedented industrialization to which the Americas have borne witness. Looking at a mix of North and Central American texts, including novels by Mexican author Laura Esquivel and films such as Apocalypse Now, we will focus on the representation of race, class, and gender as we consider how history and geography have influenced the evolution of the 19th-century gothic novel.

Computers and the Internet, perhaps more than any other technology, have transformed society over the past 50 years. In developed nations, at least, they have enabled dramatic increases in human productivity; an explosion of options for news, entertainment, and communication; and fundamental breakthroughs in almost every branch of science and engineering. At the same time, they have contributed to unprecedented threats to privacy; whole new categories of crime and anti-social behavior; major disruptions in the job market; and the large-scale concentration of risk into systems capable of catastrophic failure. In this discussion- and writing-oriented class, we will consider all of this and more, with the goal of better understanding how to shape technological change in ways that maximize the benefits and minimize the costs.

During the Renaissance and Reformation, many people throughout Europe became convinced that society was threatened by conspiracies of witches. The resulting panics led to the execution of thousands of people, mostly lower-class women. The course delves into intellectual, cultural and social history to explain how and why this happened, with discussion of both broad trends and local factors. As we will see, responses to witchcraft reflected major changes in European society, culture, and politics that lent new meanings to traditional ideas about witches, possession, and malefice and enabled the systematic condemnation of certain groups of people. The ways in which these ideas were mobilized in individual communities and the reasons for doing so varied widely, however, and we will therefore closely examine several specific examples of witch hunts in order to better understand why they were appealing to so many, why they flourished for a time, and why they ultimately faded.

The myriad ways that adaptation can occur will be the focus of this class as we read works like Pride and Prejudice, Frankenstein, Alice and Wonderland, and Roadside Picnic. These texts range from the coming-of-age story to science fiction to the surreal and fantastical. While we will explore the process of their adaptation into the province of theater, film, and television, we will also dive into the extended life of their adaptation in the digital age by exploring web series, blogs, video games, online comics and more—all of which have given their own innovative twists on the original sources. Hence, we will ask questions about these adaptations to inspect the historical, cultural, technological, political, and economic factors that contribute to such long life and evolution. Alongside reading the original source novels, inspecting film and TV adaptations, and interacting with their digital mutations, we will read theoretical texts on adaptation, medium specificity, and the digital mediascape.

"“Playing with Gender” takes a two-pronged approach to teaching issues of gender and sexuality in video games. First, we learn about and discuss ongoing debates in feminism and queer theory as the basis to critique mainstream video games. In what is now the most lucrative medium, women and LGBTQI+ identities are historically underrepresented or represented in problematic ways. This portion of the class teaches how playing games can be mobilized into a mode of cultural critique. Second, with the rise of digital distribution and independently developed games, previous forms of gatekeeping are less strong. Independent video games have given rise to an alternative canon of games that deal with issues of gender and sexuality by simultaneously challenging the very form of gaming (beyond creating a female protagonist in a traditionally male role). Students will keep a weekly gaming journal, write a piece of video game criticism, and produce a final project.
