Learners will learn critical thinking skills that will help prepare them for college/university level courses. Skills that will be developed in this course include: Media literacy, critical analysis, cultural analysis, film criticism, and more.

Students will participate through in-depth conversations to build communication skills. Students will be able to connect with like-minded peers who are interested in film, feminism, LGBTQ+ cultures, and social justice in a learning environment that is supportive, fun, and encouraging.  

I am a queer-identified Ph.D. student working in the field of Gender, Feminism, and Women's Studies with a specialization in cultural analysis and film. I am passionate about intersectional feminism, social justice, decolonization, and anti-racism. I have been teaching on these topics for  nearly a decade and I am skilled at ensuring that my classrooms are safe spaces to explore difficult topics by presenting material in a way that is accessible and appropriate for students. Content warnings are implemented when necessary for potentially upsetting material to allow students to engage or disengage based on their safety and comfort needs. Please reach out should you have any questions regarding the content of the course, films, or class discussions. 

숙제 제공
Students will need to watch the film of the week on their own time. We will not be watching the films in class together. When we meet, we'll have conversations about the movie, connect about other pop culture we've seen that seen, and learn about film theory and history.

To keep additional costs down, I recommend connecting with your local library to see what streaming services they may provide to you for free. For example, Toronto Public Library offers services like Kanopy and Hoopla Digital, which have thousands of films available for free with a library card. Most public libraries have similar databases available to library card holders. Many libraries also offer a large collection of DVDs if you have access to a DVD player at home. Always check the streaming sources you already have available to you before paying to rent a movie.
