“…Some scholars note that films can reinforce problematic stereotypes or discourses if not properly critiqued, for example (Kuzma & Haney, 2001;Madsen, 2014), while others underline that films are a limited and partial source of knowledge that students might use inappropriately (Ansell, 2002;Madsen 2014;Marcus & Stoddard, 2009). Building on such concerns, some highlight that films or videos cannot simply be shown, but rather require clear instructor framing and objectives (Holland, 2014;Kabooha, 2016;Sigler & Albandoz, 2014), a task made more complicated by the fact that many faculty are not sufficiently trained in effective pedagogical use of audio-visual media (Peacock et al, 2018) and some draw on film and video in ways that have not always been carefully thought through (Hobbs, 2006). Perhaps most interestingly, a number of writers allude to concerns about the perceived frivolity of using film and television within classroom contexts, indicating possible faculty and student resistance to considering audio-visual media as meaningful sources of knowledge or significant pedagogical supports (e.g., Madsen, 2014;Peacock et al, 2018;Swimelar, 2013;Travis, 2016).…”
