商品簡介
Johnson offers a resource for teachers who want to use film to introduce and infuse the concepts of diversity and social justice into their courses and workshops at the secondary, undergraduate, or graduate level. He also includes a discussion on the power of the film medium for teaching today's students, couched in the language of media literacy so that students will understand movies as harbingers of cultural experiences, mores, and beliefs, rather than merely as a source of entertainment. His topics are guidelines for teaching diversity, creating a common lexicon, development a course on American diversity with an emphasis on film, and clips and questions.
