Department of Communication launches the Brownbag Lecture Series on gender with back to back talks
As part of its commitment to bring gender awareness to the FEU community, Department of Communication launches its Brownbag Lecture Series on gender with back to back talks last August 29. headlining the event was the FEU premiere of David Corpuz’s 2014 Cinemalaya Special Jury award for short film, The Ordinary Things We Do, at AB 202. The film is a product of Corpuz's graduate thesis at UP Diliman entitled The Ordinary Things We Do: A Research-Based Video Installation on the Construction of Marriage Among Selected Filipino Same-Sex Couples. The experimental film explores the story of six souls—three couples—and a celebration of one same love. The film is a critical look at the essence of human romantic partnership and a celebration of the diversity of the expression of affection and intimacy.
Aside from the screening, Corpuz, who is currently teaching Visual Communication and Communication Research at the Department of Communication,also delivered a talk regarding the process of transforming his research into visual format.
On the other hand, Ms. Hender Gercio, current Research Associate at the UP Center for Women's Studies and an advocate of LGBT rights, talked about the different issues and concerns confronting members of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) in contemporary society including the best practices adopted by other Universities in addressing these concerns.
Ms. Gercio’s talk was held at AB 207 and attended by both DEPCOMM staff and students.
