CALL FOR PAPERS - FILM & HISTORY SPECIAL ISSUES:

Film & History, an interdisciplinary journal of film and television studies with an international audience, seeks original manuscripts for two special issues related to schools and teaching. The first explores images of teachers, students, and schools in film and television. The second is a compilation of case studies that explore how we teach about historical film and how we teach history with film. Manuscripts may address feature and/or documentary film. We encourage a variety of cultural, national, and international perspectives.

 

Schools, teachers, students, and administrators are common subjects of films and television, though the messages about the quality of schools, the challenges of teaching, and the experiences of students vary widely. While we all share the common experience of attending school, for most adults, school is a distant memory and the attitudes and beliefs that many have toward schools are influenced by film and television.

 

The editors are seeking manuscripts addressing the following topics for the 2009 issues of Film & History. Analyses of films, empirical work, and book/film reviews are all welcome (topics not listed are welcome):

 

Education in film: Images of teachers, students, and schools

* Analyses of teachers and/or students portrayed in film.
* Urban and/or suburban school portrayals
* Schools, teachers, and students at elementary schools, secondary schools, and universities.
* The intersection of race, class, and/or gender in school films.
* Images of student learning in film.
* Pedagogy of teachers portrayed in film.
* School principals and other administrators.
* Depictions of student social groups in film.
* The representation of content areas in school (history, English, math, science, etc.)
* Other depictions of schools or school related activities.

 

Case studies of teaching with film

* Manuscripts describing courses about history-oriented film or courses that use film as a central component to teach history including:
