                                                         Deutz Room,The
following films have been made by students in K. Wayne Yang's
undergraduate class titled Discourse, Power, Inequality.                  
    CILASThe course explores the role that discourses play in the
construction of institutions (e.g. schools, prisons, hospitals, churches,
families), nations, social movements, revolutions, law, social groups,
identity, and social behavior. By developing a critical analysis of how
people resist, subvert, and reconstruct discourse to their own purposes,
students are expected to apply it to their own political and intellectual
projects. The following have been chosen from among the films produced by
Professor Yang's class from Winter 2007.
