Chris Goetz to join the University of Iowa as Assistant Professor
This coming year, Christopher Goetz (Film and Media Studies) will be an Assistant Professor of Film Studies and New Media in the Department of Cinematic Arts at the University of Iowa, where he will teach Introduction to Film Studies, as well as a senior seminar on videogames and cinema.
The Department of Cinematic Arts provides students with the critical tools necessary for the theoretical and historical analysis of cinema as well as the creative skills required for the production of film, video, and digital media.
At UC Berkeley, Chris has been a driving force behind the Queerness and Games Conference, an annual, community-oriented, nationally-recognized event dedicated to exploring the intersection of LGBTQ issues and videogames, and the Queerness and Games Design Workshop, an artistic and interactive program in which undergraduates engage with LGBT issues in the production of digital interactive games.
Congratulations, Chris!
