Race and Gender in Science Fiction Film
BST 411/511 CRN 44481
Winter Term
Wednesdays 5:30 – 9:10
Instructors Turiya Autry and Walidah Imarisha
This class will explore popular culture and social images of race and gender (and the intersections between the two) through science fiction and speculative fiction films, short stories, and articles. Science fiction is one of the few literatures that allows us to revision the world around us and our future. We will explore the ways that is informed by mainstream race, gender, power and privilege paradigms, and study alternative ideas.
