I wrote a book on how justice-driven documentaries teach us to listen—and how those listening habits can perpetuate injustice or bring about transformative change. Coming soon from Columbia UP, read more about it here: cup.columbia.edu/book/the-do…
The title of the book (The Documentary Audit) appears in bold black text against a deep crimson background that fades to pink toward the bottom right. The book's subtitle (Listening and the Limits of Accountability) and the author's name (Pooja Rangan) appear in smaller pink letters.

The deep crimson image, fading to pink toward the bottom right, is produced by the filmmaker holding their finger over the lens to obscure the camera's view.

I recently got to attend a film festival at Sing Sing prison. Here are some thoughts on the visit—on how prisons use progressive programming to justify their existence and the difficulties of pursuing liberation through art within their punishing constraints.

To make this happen, a group of 22 professors invoked a provision in our by-laws that allows any group of at least eight faculty to call a special faculty meeting. We encourage colleagues at other institutions with faculty governance to explore similar options.

I argue that barriers to access could be other's behaviors, acts, and practices. To remedy this barrier, a unique type of accommodation is needed, one that prohibits or greatly reduces behavior or requires active engagement in practice to accommodate a disabled person. 4/8
