Online explainers, recorded lectures, courses, and video essays used across the school’s themes. These are distinct from the films and documentaries index: a film is a standalone work you would screen start to finish, while these are shorter or supplementary videos — a four-minute explainer to open a session, a lecture course to accompany a reading group, a video essay to complicate a mainstream framing.
This table is generated automatically from the resources: frontmatter on each theme’s lens files. Do not edit it by hand — add or change a resource in the relevant lens file (with format: video) and run npm run resources.
31 videos and lectures — online explainers, lectures, and video essays (distinct from films you would screen). Generated from theme lens frontmatter.
Short videos are best as openers or companions, not as the substance of a session. A four-minute explainer can surface a shared reference the room then complicates; a lecture course can carry a reading group through a difficult text over weeks. Name the framing a video brings, especially when it is mainstream or liberal, so the room reads it critically rather than absorbing it.
