English - Film and Visual Culture Concentration, B.A.
The Film & Visual Culture Concentration is an expansive and cross-disciplinary area of study that takes the visual as an entry point to exploring storytelling and meaning-making. Students learn to investigate the social and political role of visuality, evaluate power structures of looking, and examine the aesthetic value of images. Students analyze different media—such as film, painting, photography, digital media, architecture, advertising, and design—in a variety of contexts (screens, literature, museums, galleries, and more) in order to learn how our encounters with images profoundly impact our experiences of the world.
