Faculty Profile for Professor Alexander
Focusing on 21st century media production and consumption, students explore the impact of digital technologies and AI on film, television, and social media. In addition to viewing a wide range of recent and contemporary works, “New Media” engages more directly and materially with contemporary moving images, industries, and infrastructures. Students address key issues in recent film and media theory by historicizing and contextualizing recent debates surrounding connected viewing, interactivity, and materiality. Crucial to these explorations will be a hands-on engagement with post-cinematic moving images. Students who successfully complete this seminar earn credit for FMST 288 and can satisfy the human thought and expression areas of inquiry requirement or the confronting collective challenges liberal arts practice requirement.
