Out-of-Dept Course: JSIS B 438: International Conflict through Film & Art

MSW students, consider this new JSIS course for your Out-Of-Department Electives.

The Jackson School has just added a new course to Winter’s schedule: JSIS B 438 – International Conflict through Film and Art. Guest speakers will include filmmakers, artists, and activists engaged in solidarity movements in the Middle East. See below for more information and please share widely!

This year, the course focuses on how conflicts in the Middle East (specifically Palestine and Israel, this year) are portrayed in film and art, examining them from local, national, and global perspectives. With current events in the region as a backdrop, we’ll explore how filmmakers, artists, and craftivists respond to these conflicts. We’ll also analyze how visual and oral media convey compassion, empathy, and complexity while fostering solidarity and community in the context of regional struggles. – Instructor: Andrea Arai– Email araia2@uw.edu
