  • CIN-4600: Global Lenses: Social Issues in Narrative Film

    This course studies global cinema as a lens through which to understand the human impacts of social and environmental injustices. Films from diverse nations and cultures illuminate global issues by telling fictional stories that accurately and intimately depict how everyday lives, loves, and struggles are impacted by social dynamics of power and privilege within the filmmakers’ homelands. Some of these issues are large – such as impacts of globalization or climate change- while others are very precise–such as the lives of Kurdish orphans working as mine sweepers in Northern Iraq. In all, the narrative and cinematic lenses are focused on human impacts and grassroots actions, the stories of lives lived amidst injustice, challenges faced, activism inspired. In addition to viewing films, students will read and view materials from multiple academic disciplines to inform the films, for example historical or political science background materials, personal accounts and archival photographs. Students will also be introduced to basics of film theory and narrative theory, and discuss the role that these genres can play in movements for social or environmental justice.

Recognizing films as cultural artifacts and filmmaking as practice, students develop their abilities to distinguish between watching a film, reading a film and understanding it from multiple perspectives given time, place, power dynamics and more. As they interrogate their own reactions, they surface preconceptions about other-ness, self-identities and their call out some of their own blinders. They develop their abilities to get outside themselves to recognize alternative points of view. Students read film theory, watch and analyze films weekly, and undertake a final project.

  • COM-3080: Story & Strategy in Non-Profit

    The non-profit sector is always seeking to develop leadership, enhance effectiveness, and improve results. Often neglected in these efforts is a re-examination of what inspired many of us to get involved in this work in the first place: a story that made an issue meaningful or an experience that ignited passion. Progressive change work, often plagued by limited capacity and resources, tends to lead with facts and truth with little regard for producing a meaningful story. But story is one of the most powerful tools we can employ in service of our cause. It has the ability to seamlessly communicate mission and impact, inspire around vision, build leadership, mobilize resources, action, and support and ensure sustainability within an organization. Today we see an emergent and inter-disciplinary approach to organization development drawing from the fields of communication, media and messaging along with strategic planning, adaptive leadership, storytelling, culture and creativity to meet shifting demands in this arena. Building our capacity for story-based strategy is rapidly becoming one of the essential tools for leading the future of non-profits and social sector. This course will explore the foundations of narrative work and its application to advance the mission of nonprofit organizations. With the rise of social media and the proliferation of communications, advertising and design in our current age, the work of myth and meaning-making becomes critical to our ability to bring about change at the scale we are seeking. Stories are constructed realities that serve to guide and support us in creating collective impact and realizing new futures. The nonprofit sector, community organizing campaigns and social movements are all investing more emphasis on storytelling and narrative strategy, as well as the use of design thinking and aesthetics to communicate their missions and mobilize resources and support for the work. Drawing from the work of grassroots intermediaries and nonprofit organizational development theory and practice, this course is designed to introduce students to the basic tools for developing story and strategy within nonprofit organizations and the larger sector. Students will be given opportunities to work collaboratively to frame and reframe issues and initiatives and apply tools and course concepts to real life examples of campaigns, organizations, social issues and global movements.

  • COM-3221: Environmental Documentary Filmmaking

    Documentaries can be forceful tools in shaping environmental awareness. Very often they focus on the human impact on our natural world both in negative and positive ways. It no longer takes more than a smart phone to record environmental events from soil erosion to the devastating string of disasters in recent years that have plagued this small and, as we’ve all come to know, fragile planet. This class will focus on how to use documentary filmmaking to address the world within our own sphere. Students will study the issues at hand, then gather material and produce a short documentary focusing on a specific environmental concern.

  • COM-3250: World Media

    The right to communicate was enshrined in the United Nations Charter on Human Rights more than 60 years ago. This was long before much of the media that we now take for granted was even imagined in this country, let alone much of the rest of the world. This course will examine what the right to communicate means within a social justice framework and how it plays out in various parts of the world and for various communities of interest. We will examine a variety of media and the ways that they are or can be used for good and ill; how the producers impact content delivery; what best practices are; and how to remedy poor practices.

  • COM-3900: Power of Communication- What Our Voices Reveal

    This workshop addresses various aspects of the voice from the collective to the personal. As members of society, we hold views and attitudes about our world.

In the lecture sections, students will consider these aspects and will be exposed to current ideas on vocal communication. Students will consider Standard Speech, variations of English speech, and the assumptions embedded in their uses. Students will be presented with audio/visual examples of speech varieties for discussion. In the experiential sections, students will participate in a vocal warm-up and will be exposed to exercises drawn from theatrical vocal training including relaxation, breath control, volume, articulation, etc. Students will address their own vocalizations and what they may convey in a relaxing and informative format. Wear comfortable clothes, and be prepared to enjoy being exposed to what actors know: the power of the voice to communicate your voice. No grade equivalents allowed.
