Queer Feminist Praxis: CommunityEngagement and Digital Humanities (FILM 3073 R)
Term: 2023-24 Academic Year Spring
Description
This course explores various digital humanities projects and engages in innovative methods for community-oriented research through a queer feminist praxis. Through a combination of readings, discussions, and conference projects, students will gain an understanding of key concepts and theories related to race, gender, sexuality, disability, and technology. The course will provide students with practical skills for creating digital projects, as well as opportunities to work with communities.

That format will allow us to cultivate emerging moments of coming together that vitalize creative making, as well as to find innovative ways to share what was learned from a community-engaged research teaching experience and curatorial practice. This interdisciplinary and practice-based course invites students from all disciplines. Potential group conference projects: (1) leading film and media workshops
