Race, Racism, and the Image

How have audiences learned to perceive and understand 'race' in visual mass media? How do photographic and cinematographic technologies shape our understandings of ourselves, others, and the world? This course uses anti-racist and decolonial approaches to study the imperial legacies of film and photography, from colonial-era projects through contemporary globalization and militarization, within broader cultural and sociopolitical contexts.
