CSU Fullerton Department of History

CSU Fullerton Department of History Historians engage in systematic study of the human past in order to discover meaning for people in the present.

The student of history may draw upon the subject matter and methods of many academic disciplines. Thus, social history employs the methods of the social sciences, including quantitative analysis, in examining social movements and issues in the past; psycho-history utilizes the approaches of psychology in the study of the behavior of historically significant individuals and groups; and the developm

ent of the various areas of human intellectual and cultural activity, for instance the arts and sciences, are studied to inform us of how and why people have thought as they did.

CTVA 102: INSIDE THE MOVIES
Mondays, 7:00-10:00pm
HUM-123

CTVA 102 (elective; 3 units) offers students an in-depth look at the movies through weekly Q&As with Hollywood filmmakers. Each class consists of a film screening followed by a conversation with industry professionals — including screenwriters, directors, actors, producers, editors, cinematographers, sound designers, production designers, stunt coordinators, location managers, visual effects artists, etc. — to discuss their roles in making a feature film.

In addition, CTVA 102 is the only CSUF class that partners with film studios to provide students with exclusive in-class giveaways and opportunities to attend advance screenings and red carpet premieres. Students are encouraged to follow on Instagram to see the full roster of past guest speakers and screening events.

Direct all questions to Dr. Mike Dillon [[email protected]].
