Gender, Human Rights and Media brings together five leading writers, filmmakers, journalists, and scholars whose work ranges from broadcast reporting on Hurricane Katrina and South Africa's post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to a film on Argentina's state terrorism in the 1970s. Through individual presentations, media clips and discussion, the panelists will engage in personal and scholarly interpretations of the complicated role that media can play in reflecting, influencing, and broadening our understanding of human rights.

About the Institute
Ellen Stone Belic
Founder
The Ellen Stone Belic Institute for the Study of Women and Gender in the Arts and Media established its staffed operations at Columbia College Chicago in March 2005. The first of its kind in the nation, the Institute offers a dynamic and innovative multidisciplinary approach that merges applied arts and cultural production with critical theory and academic research. The Institute's mission is to deepen understanding and appreciation of how issues related to women, gender, creativity and community shape social policy, culture, history and critical theory. Within this framework, the Institute addresses ideas of access, representation, equity, and participation, as well as race and class, using the arts and media as a central means of research, engagement, public education, and advocacy. The Institute offers a wide range of public programs, including exhibitions, performances and panel discussions, and supports new research and creative work through its Fellowship program. Enhancing student learning and contributing to new bodies of knowledge are central to the Institute's purpose. The Institute achieves this through curricular intersections at Columbia College and far-reaching educational collaborations with other cultural, civic and academic organizations based locally, nationally and internationally.
