In this class, we'll look at neglected Indian films and songs that demonstrate that attraction and friendship as seen from the female gaze are not emotions that are incorrect, but rather a natural experience of being human. It also serves to demonstrate a different view of female perspectives than is shown by mainstream American media: to show that there are different cultural outlooks on romance and attraction. A more diverse understanding of this subject will hopefully translate to a more diverse understanding of yourselves. The class also touches on queer identities in Indian film, and how that relates to the female gaze. This class hopes to broaden your available information about the ways lives are led across the globe, and to make the college transition less daunting for all genders, ensuring everyone garners shared respect for people's feelings and choices in the process. Trust me when I say the class is for EVERYONE: male, female, any! I hope you'll love it!
