Critical Conversations: Media Studies at the Intersection of Theory and Practice

Established in Fall 2017, the Department of Film, Television, and Media’s speaker series creates a space for film and media scholars and artists/practitioners to engage in dialogues about past and contemporary topics that influence media industries, audiences, and society at large. Gloria Calderón Kellett, Executive Producer and showrunner of Netflix’s ONE DAY AT A TIME and Miranda Banks, Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies at Emerson College will be our presenters. Calderón Kellett and Banks will explore the relevance of ethnic, gender, and sexual diversity behind and in front of the camera, in programming and film content, and in film and media schools.
