Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas (PCCUA) has launched a free spring foreign film mini-course.It s the first year for the mini-course, which will showcase three foreign films followed by discussion on each of the PCCUA campuses in DeWitt, Helena and Stuttgart. English instructor Matt Forester said they chose the inaugural series to feature films from Afghanistan and Iran since both countries are often discussed in the media. The films are The Color of Paradise, Osama, and A Separation. Forester said the mini-course is free through a grant initiative from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Community College Humanities Association (CCHA).PCCUA was one of 17 colleges out of 80 applicants picked for CCHA s Advancing the Humanities at Community Colleges: An NEH Bridging Cultures Project. In addition to the mini-course, PCCUA will also revise its world literature course. We also intend to have guest lecturers in the spring of next year, Forester said. To be clear, we will have one guest lecturer on each culture we are focusing on that semester come in to speak at the college for a one-time occasion at all three locations. These lectures will be open to the public. The project is being implemented with the help of a CCHA mentor, Dr. Kathy Fedorko. Forester said Fedorko, a professor of English emerita at Middlesex Community College in Hopewell, N.J., has advised PCCUA to not try to implement everything at once, which is why the guest lectures are not starting this semester.According to PCCUA,longchamp pas cher, the purpose of the grant is to promote understanding of and appreciation for global cultures for students and their communities.
