The Film & Education Research Academy was founded by:
|
John Broughton
|
From age 6-16, John Broughton was the Cinema Paradiso style projector boy for a film society in rural England, and by 17 was official festival film reviewer for the British National Film Theatre. From journalism he moved to the study of psychology at Cambridge University, and thence to Harvard for doctoral studies in adolescent worldviews and moral development. He has published two books on developmental psychology and is now interim director of Cultural Studies in the department of Arts and Humanities at Teachers College, where he teaches courses on youth, pop culture, high technology, violence, gender, and diversity. Dr. Broughton has also initiated |
| a database project at Columbia for archiving multimedia materials for classroom and student use. A budding videographer, he assists in the media lab at the Elizabeth Irwin High School in Soho.

Kelvin Shawn Sealey
|
As an educator and social entrepreneur, Kelvin Shawn Sealey has sought ways of merging his principle intellectual interests in cultural studies and education with social/commercial ventures in entertainment and philanthropy, advancing a liberal humanist philosophy coupled with a generative intellectual practice. This means thinking and doing need not be mutually exclusive: from consideration and understanding can flow engaged teaching and unconventional practice. |
Thus, as founder of the Film & Education Research Academy (FERA) with Dr. John Broughton, he has sought ways to teach within the Debordian “spectacular” vein of contemporary pedagogy, of which Project Citizen is an example. His cultural studies and arts education courses at Teachers College have concerned themselves with Film, Politics & Education, and with History, Philosophy and the Cinematic. At The New School, he teaches uses of popular film in education – called cinematic education - and also Entrepreneurship & Education. Beginning in the Spring of 2006, he will teach Architecture and Education courses at the Columbia University School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation, where he is co-founder of the Design Lab for Learning Organizations (DLLO) with architect Scott Marble. His published works include Restoring Hope , edited with Cornel West, A Reader In Social Enterprise and the forthcoming (Peter Lang Publishers, 2005) Film, Politics & Education. A candidate for the Ed.D in Spring '06, he holds a BA in Economics from the University of Toronto , and an Ed.M in Comparative and International Education from Teachers College, Columbia University .
