What do you get when you mix a family science scholar and a media researcher? Deep dives into the human and technical elements of film and television, silly! Join Ebony and Vern as they (lovingly) beat your favorite media to death with a microscope and interrupt the programming we all receive from the mythology of our modern era. But like, relatably! As academics we know that knowledge can be gatekept by its makers, and we want to take higher learning to more accessible places. We believe media literacy is not only a right but a responsibility and that people who are knowledgeable about family and relationship dynamics can be better friends, partners, neighbors, members of a society. We chose to use the most accessible texts in our culture (movies/tv) and empower people to become better versions of themselves.
