Attend "Origin" screening on Nov. 13

The LLED 8045: Humanizing Research, Pedagogy, and Relationships doctoral course will host a screening of the film “Origin” on Wednesday, Nov. 13.

“Origin,” a 2023 biographical drama by Ava DuVernay, explores the connections between the caste systems of Nazi Germany, India, and the United States through the journey of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson, author of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. As Wilkerson travels through these countries, she examines the violent repercussions of American slavery to the Holocaust and India’s caste system.

This film closely aligns with our course themes of humanizing research, pedagogies, and relationships, prompting critical reflection on historical injustices and their lasting impacts. It provides a meaningful context for exploring the complexities of race, caste, and systemic oppression, fostering deeper empathy in our educational practices.

Light refreshments will be provided. We look forward to an engaging discussion following the screening.

A trailer is enclosed for your consideration. Registration is required before Monday, Nov. 11.
