About This Course

In this class, “Film & TV Representations, Stereotyping and Health Consequences ,” we first examine scholarship that explores representation in Film and TV of marginalized and underrepresented peoples and the mechanisms for how these drive and reinforce harmful stereotypes, discrimination and racism.

The second part of class focuses on how these representations might impact the health and well-being of marginalized peoples.

The third part is student driven, as students working in groups choose a film or TV show to assess negative stereotypes, how they are represented etc… and then we would finish off by writing or story boarding a short script that specifically counters stereotypes.
