FILMG 2905 - PROSEMINAR IN FILM AND MEDIA STUDIES


Minimum Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 1
All students in the Ph.D. Film studies program are required to complete a one credit proseminar in film and media studies prior to taking their comprehensive examinations. Enrolled students attend a designated lecture by invited scholars, as well as an associated ninety-minute seminar conducted by a film studies faculty member concerning the work of the speaker or the topic addressed. The faculty member conducting the seminar will typically choose pertinent readings to be completed prior to the lecture and seminar. The proseminar is usually offered twice a year: once during the fall term and once during the spring, with a lecture and its associated seminar scheduled each term. Invited scholars may or may not participate in the seminar meetings. Dates and times of visiting speakers and the associated seminars will be announced well in advance so that students may plan their schedules accordingly. A student in the program may repeat the proseminar for up to three credits. The proseminar in film and media studies seeks to expand and enhance our graduate students’ experience of the critical exchange of ideas, by involving them more fully in the contemporary research being conducted by film and media scholars from around the world.
