DISCUSSION GUIDES & TOOLKITS

I've written discussion guides, toolkits, and lesson plans for more than 250 independent films & media projects and counting, specializing in making academic content accessible to general audiences and providing prompts for community-based dialogue about sensitive, complex issues, including: 
race & racism, women's rights, LGBTQ+, disinformation, democracy, human rights 
health equity, environment & climate change, social & economic justice, 
and much more.

Sample Discussion Guides

What I Want My Words to Do to You – designed to reflect the film’s invitation to viewers to think deeply about the documentary’s subjects (incarcerated women participating in an Eve Ensler writing project).

Disclosure – addresses complex, sensitive content (media depictions of transgender people) with an intentional mix of short and long-form discussion prompts.

The Act of Killing – designed to help viewers grapple with an extremely powerful and disturbing film about genocide in Indonesia.

Inequality for All – designed to function as mini-toolkit and discussion guide, with multiple styles of question and discussion formats that help people explore Robert Reich’s framing of economic justice issues.

Race: The Power of an Illusion – designed to engage viewers who may be misinformed or resistant to the film’s examination of the roots and ongoing sources of racial inequality in the U.S. It was crafted to fit into a larger set of online resources.
