授業の概要と方法

This course uses the medium of film to explore a range of social issues in contemporary society. Over the semester, students will view three films, and will explore various social issues that these films raise (i.e. gender roles, sexual orientation, family function & dysfunction, discrimination, animal rights etc.)
In this course, students will be expected to work cooperatively and respectfully with classmates in pairs/small groups to share their opinions about these complex social issues.

受講生の到達目標

It is intended that students who enroll in this course will:

1) be exposed to films that they might not otherwise have the opportunity to view
2) improve their ability to discuss complex social issues using film as a reference point to frame opinions and ideas
3) develop critical thinking skills and an ability to consider social issues from a range of different perspectives.
4) learn to view social issues through a 'critical lens' - to think about power structures in society, and what might be done to improve the lives of marginalized groups in society.
5) deepen their understanding of the term 'social justice' as it might apply to their lives and the people around them.

授業外学習の指示

It is very important that students catch up any work missed BEFORE the next class. There is NO POINT in only watching, for example, the first and final portions of a film! If you are absent, please contact me to make arrangements to borrow the film/documentary to watch it independently. Also, it is important to do the required reading and complete all assignments on Manaba for homework. You will need to prepare for each class in order to participate fully in it.
