We are excited to announce our 2024 Summer Institute to Advance Equity!
Scholars in many disciplines are grappling with how to advance equity through research on women and girls of color. They often strive to learn from those working outside of academia, to benefit from the insights of groups and organizations, and to give back to communities rather than extract from them. Unfortunately, relevant methods and research strategies are not yet widely taught at institutions of higher learning or sufficiently valued in the academy.

Hi Huskies👋
Check this out!
Black Documentary Film Archival Practices is a course that examines how archives are deployed to tell Black diasporic narratives, historical and present-day representations, and the impact of these images. Throughout this course, students will sharpen their understanding of non-fiction aesthetics and modes of production through the construction of short-form archival-based media.
Coursework will provide students with tools to think independently about questions of representation, embedded biases, form, formats, and intended audiences through films, readings, and non-fiction multimedia. Students will further develop the skill to contextualize current events within a historical framework and hone their visual voices. We will interrogate authorship, accountability, and narrative ownership. This course will delve into tensions around access, formal considerations, and ethical usage of pre-existing material from various sources, including public institutions, private collections, stock footage libraries, YouTube, and social media.
