“Have You Seen The Notebook?” “I Don’t Remember.” Using Popular Cinema to Teach Memory and Amnesia

Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

The recent influx of films addressing different aspects of memory loss inspired the development of an upper-level undergraduate seminar that focuses on investigating amnesia through the lens of popular cinema. This discussion-based course included several written assignments and, at the end of one semester, a comprehensive take-home exam. Over the course of four semesters, a bank of student-authored discussion questions for each reading was collected and a list of topics and corresponding movies was honed.
