COM 325 - Women and Film (4 Cr.)

(Cross listed as WGS 325 ) (GCR RPP)
This course examines films and filmmakers noted for their singular, provocative approaches to screening women. Drawing on feminist and queer theories, we will explore how these films and filmmakers challenge and transgress gender roles and sexual norms while experimenting with cinematic form.

Repeatable if the topic is different. Prerequisites: COM 239 INACTIVE, COM 245 INACTIVE, COM 241  and/or COM 242 , or WGS 330 ; departmental and college writing proficiency; junior or senior status; or permission of the instructor.
