BIO
Mary Healey Jamiel came to the University in 1996. Her work examines complex subject matter such as child sexual abuse, global climate change, and Lyme Disease.
As an educator, her goal is to create an active and dynamic classroom environment where each student is encouraged to cultivate a considered connection to the core course materials at hand —through the use of journals, readings, written analysis, oral presentations, filmed exercises and discussion. She has developed a strong conviction that encouraging students to practice critical, independent thinking strengthens their analytical skills in media criticism and their authorial practices in documentary production.
Mary is particularly passionate about teaching documentary research, introductory and advanced production, and documentary history. In her courses, film media analysis, production aesthetics, and ethics are the focal points of discussion. The documentary -- as a medium and as a process -- can provide students, like filmmakers, with good opportunities to raise new questions and provoke meaningful educational, social, and political discourse. In documentary courses, students critique a diverse collection of historic and contemporary films and develop original documentary film ideas. Students are encouraged to shape their own critical and aesthetic approaches to their films through research, creative writing, discussion and filmed exercises. As a result, when students implement their ideas, they are better prepared to make difficult decisions, and adopt ethical, considered strategies for authorial representation.
