Dear subscribers, I am in the process of investigating the viability of offering a graduate certificate in film to students earning PhDs in other (non-film) departments. This would be offered to students who might wish to earn a credential in film because they will teach film (e.g. students in American Studies who might include film in a cultural studies course, or foreign language students who might offer a course in a national cinema) and/or who might include some film in their dissertation but are not housed in a film program. I have seen models for this sort of thing with gender studies but am not aware of programs in film. If any of you know of such programs, can you please contact me? If you have opinions about their viability or usefulness, I'd love to hear from you.You can contact me directly at [log in to unmask] If subscribers are interested in this issue, I can offer a list and summary of comments. Thanks for your help, Pam Wojcik ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
