WMST 270 Women and Film
This course uses film to explore the human search for meaning, through examining films written and/or directed by women, featuring women, and focusing on women’s experiences. Engaging a wide variety of worldviews, the focus is on the creative and risk-taking strategies women choose in order to navigate systems of race, class, gender, and sexuality, while pursuing meaningful lives for themselves, their families and communities. The course draws on the arts, media, and popular culture to analyze the worldwide impact of gender expectations in shaping and limiting societal roles, as well as women’s innovative strategies for expanding and enhancing them.
