Learning to Look: Film in the Classroom

Wednesday, November 14

Diana Postlethwaite, English and Boldt Chair in the Humanities

Brian Borovsky, Physics

Steve Hahn, History

Kris Thalhammer, Political Science

Mary Titus, English and Director, Center for Integrative Studies

(co-sponsors: Boldt Chair in the Humanities, Task Force on the Study of Film)

If you are using film or images in the classroom, or would like to get some ideas for how to do this — or how to do it more effectively — please join us for this session. Faculty at St. Olaf currently are teaching scientific concepts through 3D visualizations, using film to teach about human rights, teaching film as historiography, and creating filmmaking assignments to teach writing and critical analysis skills. Faculty from across the disciplines are invited to discuss their experiences, plans, hopes, and questions about integrating film and images into their teaching.
