DMD 3998.009 - Toward Equity: The Digital Media & Design Speaker Series
Online (WW) / Asynchronous
1-credit course
Open to undergraduate/graduat etsudents in all majors, all campuses.
To paraphrase James Baldwin, nothing can be changed until it is faced. This is certainly true of the inequities that have historically shaped digital media content, fields, and careers. This one-credit course invites us to face the issues by hearing from--and actively engaging with--the artists, media scholars, and professionals from film, game, cultural and other sectors who are participating in the Diverse Perspectives in Digital Media & Design: 2020 Speaker Series. In addition to learning about how issues of equity manifest in their work, creative processes, and careers, we will reflect on how our own areas of practice can support greater equity, diversity, and inclusion.
* This course is taught asynchronously. Students will have access to class materials online using HuskyCT.
