CINE 358 - Feminist Media Histories

FC ARHU WADV

4 credits
In this course we will explore media history from a global intersectional feminist perspective. We will examine the contributions of artists, audiences/users, inventors, media executives, and technicians from computing pioneer Ada Lovelace to television director and Oberlin alum Shirley Graham Du Bois, to interrogate the relationship between gender, sexuality, and power in media history. The central question of the course is how an attention to media history from an intersectional feminist perspective may reorient our understanding and connection to media today.
