About this course
This course explores the intersection of sociology and cinema, using remarkable American and international films as a lens to examine key sociological theories and concepts. Students will analyze how societal structures, power dynamics, and cultural norms are reflected and challenged in film narratives. A critical focus will be placed on the representation of marginalized populations, including racial minorities and queer communities, and how their stories often remain underrepresented or obscured by mainstream film studies. Through engaging with unconventional and thought-provoking narratives, students will deepen their understanding of sociology while honing their ability to critique the social implications of visual storytelling.
