Kelly). Exposes students, through lecture and discussion, to the skills needed to approach film through the lens of critical theory, and to think—through film—about global capitalism and its effects on economic, racial, and gender hierarchies. Equivalent to ENGH 326 . Prerequisite: ENGH 150 or ENGH 120 or FILM 101 or ENGH 221 or FILM 201 CLA-Diversity International
