Women and Visual Media Studies
Jasmine Nicole Cobb
Description from DukeHub
This course explores visual media by women artists, as well as the production, circulation, and reception of visual culture about the idea of 'woman.' Drawing on feminist scholarship across disciplines, students will examine representation, spectatorship, power, beauty, and sex. We will explore work by popular icon Beyoncé, artist Lorna Simpson, but also independent documentary films on relevant themes.

The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
