Deliberate Cultural Curriculum: A Case Study In Online Discourse For Race And Gender Issues In Media, Lorene Wales

Lorene Wales

A qualitative case study was performed on an online course titled, Race and Gender in Motion Pictures taught at Regent university.  Students studied minority representation in cinema.   The research questions are, when students are  presented with deliberate, intentional cross cultural media in an online environment do they develop civil discourse that is positive and beneficial?  Does exposure to minority stereotypes in media increase sensitivity to their discourse with other students and can this discourse develop over the course of a semester?

Adel Abdessemed: The Future Of Décor, Matthew Ryan Smith

Matthew Ryan Smith, Ph.D.

Adel Abdessemed’s Future of Décor at OCAD’s Onsite Gallery is the artist’s first solo exhibition in Canada and is a testament to the university’s ‘Nomadic Residency’ programme, which has featured work and lectures from ORLAN, Rirkrit Tiravanija and Hal Foster. Some may find Abdessemed’s invitation by curator (and OCAD professor) Charles Reeve as a daring gesture considering the artist’s 2008 show in San Francisco was terminated after the artist received death threats over a video series that featured close-ups of six animals bludgeoned to death for food.
