My Book Review is Up

In animation, Book review

My review of Omar Sayfo’s Arab Animation: Images of Identity is now up in the Animation: An Interdisciplinary Journal. Safyo’s book is one of the few books that seriously examine animation production and cultures in the Arab countries. I highly recommend it for those interested in learning about non-western animation.

Thanks to Patrick Sullivan and Aimee Mollaghan for letting me review the book for the journal. Also thanks to my former student, Sayf Elhawari, for sharing deeper insights on how Arabic dialects are used in film and animation.

Feel free to contact me if you want a pdf version of the review.

Below is my webinar presentation for the Representation of Woman in Literature event hosted by Universitas Diponegoro.

I had a good discussion with the participants and the co-presenters, Ankita Rathour and Ratna Asmarani. Planning on turning this presentation into something publishable.

Intro to Global Animation Syllabus

By

On August 31, 2023

In animation, syllabus

This semester I am revamping my Intro to Global Animation syllabus. I decided to reduce the reading load because I want students to have more time in practice-based activities. This is also the first time I will try to use a professional stop motion animation software, Dragonframe, for their animation project. Hopefully it will go smoothly.

I also would like to credit Mihaela Mihailova’s “An Anti-Racist Animation Syllabus” for listing animated features and shorts with protagonists of color and/or directed by PoC. Many of the films I use in my course are selected from her list.

Below is my updated syllabus. Leave comments if you have any suggestions as I may still be able to change some of the contents of the course schedule.
