Through the lens of social justice, this seminar examines cinematic representations of embodied identities. In particular, we will focus on racialized bodies, performance of sexuality, disability narratives, transgender films, feminist adaptations, class struggle, and intersectional identities in pop culture.

Films include Green Book, The King’s Speech, Intouchables, Stage Beauty, The King and the Clown, The Danish Girl, Wedding Banquet, and others.
