Students view and theorize historical and contemporary video art works including cinema verité, propaganda, performance art for video, ethnographic films, "home movies," reality TV, tabloid news, autobiographical and activist videos.
2006 Adjunct Faculty, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Department of Arts. Rethinking DOcumnetary, a production course investigating documentary and non-fiction flim/video.
