Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Art of Leading Student-Led Media Projects'
Monday April 7, 2025 1:45pm - 2:45pm PDT
W302
Like the famous film, the premise of excellent student-led projects is that behind them is an unnoticed master who arranges situations, contexts, logistics, spatial and interpersonal relationships that result in a transformative learning experience for the student-participants. This panel showcases film/documentary/video projects from academic programs across the country and world that reflect this kind of approach to teaching and learning. We would spotlight a student-led feature film project out of Oklahoma, a student-led documentary on hunger and food insecurity out Kansas (ironically the nation's breadbasket), a student-led "Choose Your Own Adventure'' video production project out of Kentucky, and a student-led online newspaper reporting project out of Cairo, Egypt, that focused on the status of women.
Moderator: Lydia Reeves Timmins, University of Delaware
Panelists: Traci Easley Williams, University of Oklahoma; Tom Hallaq, Kansas State University; Carey L. Higgins-Dobney, University of Kentucky; Nadine El Sayed, The American University in Cairo
