Thinking through Race | Terri Francis | TEDxIndianaUniversity

In her TEDx talk "Thinking Through Race", Professor Terri Francis delves into the fictions and hypocrisies that exist within the concept of race. Dr. Francis offers the audience a look into deeply formative personal experiences and her black film studies to provide a view of how to break through illogical -- and damaging -- racial boxes.  Terri Francis teaches film studies courses and directs the Black Film Center/Archive at Indiana University. A scholar of Black film and critical race theory, her work involves archival research, cultural history and attention to form, set within the vicissitudes of performance and representation. Francis is the author of "Josephine Baker’s Cinematic Prism", forthcoming from Indiana University Press. Her interviews and essays appear in Film Quarterly, Transition, Black Camera, Another Gaze, and Film History. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
