Fandom and Film Studies
Do you love movies, comics, novels, or any kind of story? Did you grow up reading Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games, and Harry Potter? Maybe you've been inspired by the iconic characters and universes of Star Wars, Star Trek, or Doctor Who. Or an adventure with friends playing Dungeons & Dragons sounds right up your alley. If so, this learning community is perfect for you! We’ll explore how these powerful narratives shape our values, challenge our perspectives, and inspire us to create positive change. Beyond analyzing these worlds, we’ll dive into how they foster hope, resilience, and a sense of belonging—reminding us that no matter the odds, we all have the power to make a difference. Together, we’ll build a community of passionate, like-minded peers where you’ll connect, grow, and develop the critical thinking and creative skills that will serve you throughout college and your future career.
This community also offers a first step toward earning a Film Studies certificate, which can open doors to careers in media, writing, entertainment, and more. By joining, you’ll not only explore the stories and fandoms that shape our culture but also gain the tools to succeed in any field. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of media literacy, build meaningful connections, or gain skills that set you apart in the workforce, this is your chance to transform your passion into a powerful, career-ready experience. Join in and let the adventure begin!
