Earlier this year, Melanie Klein of Feminist Fatale invited me to speak to her Women and Popular Culture class at Santa Monica College in California.  I spent the hour talking about how powerful Political Remix Video and Vidding are for critiquing media messages and fostering a talk back culture.  We also discussed the legal ramifications surrounding the use of copyrighted material and what the Fair Use doctrine is.

One of Melanie’s students, Jessica O’Keefe of O’Keefe Films, filmed and edited together this three part video of my talk.
