Media Histories: Race

Taught by Prof. Nandini Sikand, FAMS 235 will meet 1:10-4 p.m.on Mondays and Wednesdays during summer session II (July 5-Aug. 13). The course description: In this course, we will study the tangle between race, image-making, and the technologies of surveillance and social media. Beginning with early images and the birth of cinema, we will examine how ways of seeing are deeply intertwined with power and racialized bodies to create discourse on how we see others and ourselves. The class will be held remotely with a mix of asynchronous and synchronous instruction.
