Joan of Arc & Pedagogy

In this bonus episode on La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc (1928) and Joan of Arc (1948), Dr Laura O'Brien talks to us about viewing period drama as a form of history writing, the way multiple films on the same figure or event can help students think about historical questions and reception narratives, and the online spaces in which some of the best examples of popular reception are happening today. We also talk about some of the practicalities of teaching with film, including: how to integrate film into lesson-planning and assessments; the time film-watching asks of the student; how students today consume, and therefore think about film; and the difficulties of access.

If you haven't listened to our main episode on Joan of Arc, we recommend doing so first, so you have the full context for our discussion.

Many thanks to Dr. O'Brien for her extra time.
