Course description
This humanities lab course explores the act of vision through hands-on creative and experiential projects and theoretical and historical work. The object of study will be the practices of film and media studies. We will examine the intersection of vision with political questions of power, disability, surveillance, and digitality through encounters inside and outside the classroom. Students will produce creative media projects and critical reflections on texts and images to engage in process-based learning and risk-taking.

ArcGIS StoryMaps
ArcGIS StoryMaps is a story authoring web-based application on the ArcGIS platform that enables you to share your maps in the context of narrative text and other multimedia content. You can use ArcGIS StoryMaps to do the following:
- Create stories with the story builder. Stories can include maps, narrative text, lists, images, videos, embedded items, and other media.
- Publish and share your stories. Published stories each have their own link, and you can use these links to share your stories within your organization or with everyone.
- Manage your stories. View and edit your stories from the My Stories page, and find stories authored by others in your organization and add stories to your favorites list.
