NEW COURSE | SUMMER 2012
On the Road: Media Geographies

The recent convergence of film, video, and sound as delivered via mobile media is explored in this field-based production course that literally takes place on the road.  Students and faculty travel together and work in small teams to create mobile media works that engage the interrelationship of media, movement, and geography as they learn about and experience the landscapes, histories, and cultures of the United States and Canada. For Summer 2012 we will follow a trajectory that takes us to sites of significance in the writings of Henry David Thoreau.
