Resource Faculty

The interdisciplinary nature of Cinema and Media Studies means that faculty from across the Humanities Division work closely with our department on projects, courses, and committees. Prospective and current students should therefore consider all of the distinguished faculty as potential mentors and advisors when considering their program of study. To give a clearer indication of who our students may choose to work with, below is a list of Resource Faculty connected to CMS.
