Ethics: Inclusive Storytelling

This course focuses on the necessary and often undiscussed role of ethics and inclusivity in storytelling and story creation. This course will provide space, as requested by the students, faculty and staff, for facilitated discussion around narrative ownership, comedy, history of on-screen portrayals, intersectionality, the business of inclusion and other related topics so that students walk away with a personal inclusive storytelling plan and a greater level of cultural competency as they continue their creative journeys.  The instructors are professionals in the entertainment space with deep knowledge and practical Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) experience.
