On this episode of Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe is joined by Iowa State University associate professor Novotny Lawrence for a conversation about Black representation and inclusion in film — both behind the camera and in front.
Lawrence will explore how the film industry influences social issues in the upcoming lecture “White Mansions, Black Bodies: Jordan Peele’s Get Out and the New Age Slave Plantation.” The lecture, part of Iowa State University’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean’s Lecture Series, will be virtual and open to the public at 6:00 pm on Thursday, November 5th.
Guest:
- Novotny Lawrence, associate professor in the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication and English departments at Iowa State University.
