Concentration in Documentary
Through a combination of theory and practice courses, the concentration in Documentary offers film and media majors pathways through the aspirations, accomplishments and controversies embedded in the documentary idiom.
Students who complete the concentration will acquire the knowledge, tools and training that will enable them to understand the varieties of documentary form — prose, still photography and video and filmmaking — and the ways such forms have been produced across history. Its goals coincide with Emory's objective of being socially and politically engaged in Atlanta, the United States and the world.
