ABSTRACT
Ethnographic film and video have evolved from its pioneering roots as cinematic entertainment and as an advanced field note device in the service of ethnographic inquiry, to its current status as a form of academic dissemination used in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary social science and humanities scholarship. Feminist theory is a theoretical/philosophical model of thinking that aims to define and understand gender inequality. It is the scholarly adaptation of feminism, which is a broad range of ideas and movements intended to describe and achieve gender equality. Despite universities placing attention on diversifying the professoriate, the academic sector of university employment has not made the same gains as having professional staff in higher education. The diversity renaissance that was predicted with the creation of less expensive digital cameras and streaming services has not happened.
