Celluloid Closet: Foundations in Queer Cinema History Through a Racial Lens
Across five Saturday sessions, participants study ten landmark films through the lens of Cinematic Marginalia, examining how film has shaped internalized Queer-phobia and the stories we tell about ourselves and others. Through personal writing, small group discussion, and a short final presentation, participants deepen their understanding of Queer representation and its influence on self and community.
Discourses of Difference
Discourses of Difference is a live, online listening seminar unfolding across four intensive weekends, using audioethnography, layered storytelling, and critical study to examine how race, power, and history shape the stories we tell about ourselves and others.
