LAW 8714G      Gender, Race, Sexual Orientation, Religion & Film
A focus on the ways in which facets of identity (e.g., gender, race, sexual orientation and religious beliefs) are illuminated in films and other popular media that have implications for law and public policy, including how public sentiments are influenced by movies and other media and how movie portrayals of these identity characteristics shape popular conceptions of what the law should be in relation to them. Readings and discussions illuminate the ways various media both feed, and at times test, societal assumptions about identity characteristics.
