She's Beautiful When She's Angry (streaming, Academic Video Online)An essential documentary about the birth of the women's liberation movement. Beginning in the late 1960s, featuring never-seen before archival footage and new interviews. She's Beautiful When She's Angry tells the story of one of the most important social movements of the 20th century, bringing to light the efforts of lesser-known activists, including the Boston authors of Our Bodies, Ourselves, the Chicago Women's Liberation Union, and grassroots organizations across the country who played a pivotal role in the struggle.
Crash Course Sociology: Theories of Gender (Streaming, Academic Video Online)Why is gender even a thing? To answer that, we're going back to our three sociological paradigms and how each school of thought approaches gender theory. We'll look at the structural functionalist view that gender is a way of organizing society into complementary roles, the symbolic interactionist take on how gender guides our daily life, and conflict theory's ideas about how gender distributes power within society.
Black Feminist (streaming, Academic Video Online)Black Feminist is a feature length documentary film surrounding the double edged sword of racial and gender oppression that black women face in America. This documentary is told through interviews from scholars, lecturers, writers, business owners, veterans, comedians and authors.
