Film & History

Project MUSE - Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and Television Studies - Feature Editors’ Introduction

Alan Marcus & Ron Briley, 'Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and Television Studies', Volume 39.1 (2009).

Schools, teachers, students, and administrators are common subjects in film and television, and viewers share many school experiences—from sitting at desks in rows, trudging through homework, squinting at multiple-choice exams, and lugging textbooks to resisting exhortations from teachers and swooning at their compliments. But the messages about the quality of schools, the challenges of teaching, and the purposes of education vary widely. For most adult viewers, in fact, school is a distant memory, easily upstaged by depictions of it on the screen—depictions that soon shape their perceptions, beliefs, biases, and values toward education in general and toward school life in particular.
