In media, racial representation is a significant element on screen, but often an irritation behind closed doors. Can whites write for minority audiences? Why aren’t there more producers and directors of color? Misunderstandings prevail when whites fail to examine their identities, ideology, discomfort and/or biases. This course will use television and film examples as catalysts for self-examination of whiteness. Readings will lay the groundwork to “try on” our racial identity in a safe community of media makers.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
