Winter 2026 - Professor Thomas does a great job fostering discussions and evaluations of films that brings them into the context of a broader message about immigration and overall society. The films he shows are very interesting, diverse, and unique, and the discussions he encourages after the screenings are always very informative and thought-provoking. The course structure consisting of only attendance/participation and a final paper is refreshing and encourages more thoughtful and authentic engagement with the point of the course. I really enjoyed this class, its format, Professor Thomas's instructions, and what I gained from the films we watched!
