This course will explore contemporary social justice issues in the entertainment, media and technology industries. For example, we will consider the #MeToo and #OscarsSoWhite movements and broader issues of structural underrepresentation and discrimination against women, people of color, LGBTQ people, and other marginalized groups in Hollywood. We will also explore backlash to these movements. The class will engage questions concerning AI, including how new technologies may perpetuate or disrupt discrimination and more broadly transform human relationships. The class will include guest speakers from impacted industries and viewing and critiquing excerpts of relevant film, TV, and other creative content.
