Overview of class

Hollywood Be Thy Name: Race, Religion, and Belonging Through Film

In this seminar students will explore constructions of race, religion, and belonging in the U.S. through popular films and television. This course will center representations of Black religions and spirituality as case studies. Along with written sources, students will "read" moving images as texts that consists of an argument, evidence, and analysis. Through close reading and exploratory exercises students will develop analytical essays that follow the writing process — from brainstorming and outlining, to drafting and revision. Students will also learn how to conduct peer reviews and translate their work into multimedia project.
