Students at the University of Colorado can learn about “BIPOC horror” this semester.
“Introduction to BIPOC Horror” will highlight “horror created by BIPOC in films, novels, and comics.”
This is in contradiction to how “[m]ainstream horror often centers on white fears and problematic representations of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color,” according to the course description.
The course, taught by Jessica Ordaz, will use “a critical Ethnic Studies lens,” while “focusing on the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability.”
