Abstract

This chapter explores the possibilities for film as a text to both convey and co-construct representations of identity and content. In particular, the author notes the possibilities for using film as a space for a social and personal exploration and conversation as well as content-oriented considerations of what representation means. The author notes that a number of scholars speak to the intersections of identity that are shared in textual forms while also noting a sense of limitations as an ally and advocate who centers student story and authentic, critical engagement with text as central to the human story that is found in education.
