SCA is an internationally recognized institution and a leader in the fields of cinematic arts\, games\, emergent media forms and media scholarship. While entertainment industries including film\, television and interactive media have deep histories in progressive social politics\, current cultural discussions about the state of mainstream media industries indicate that much work needs to be done to challenge and change existing paradigms around power\, privilege and inclusion. Recognized as a pipeline to the media industries and graduate media programs\, SCA is uniquely positioned to play a leadership role in preparing the next generation of media producers and scholars to critically engage with issues of diversity and build inclusive creative and scholarly communities within media industries and academia. SCA embraces this opportunity to influence the wider community of media creators and scholars. In 2016 SCA formed the Council for Diversity & Inclusion to address how our community can foster a more inclusive environment. \nUSC is located in one of our nation’s most vibrant and diverse cities\, and we recognize the need for our institution to reflect the complex and multifaceted richness of our surrounding communities in terms of students\, staff\, faculty and community partners. SCA is committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive learning environment at all institutional levels. We promote diversity and inclusion in the recruitment and training of all faculty members and believe that celebrating diversity within our student population will open critical and constructive dialogues about difference that enhance our creative and scholarly work. We also understand that support staff play a vital role in the SCA community and\, therefore\, the same attention needs to be paid to diversity among staff members. We define diversity to include age\, race\, ethnicity\, physical ability\, gender identity\, gender expression\, sexual orientation\, socioeconomic status\, country of origin\, veteran status\, religious practice\, and political ideology. SCA seeks to weave a philosophy of inclusion and respect for difference into the fabric of our community; take a leadership role in areas of diversity and inclusion across the university; and establish a model for media industries to empower different voices and perspectives. \nLearn more at: http://cinema.usc.edu/Diversity\n\nThis program is generously sponsored by\n\n	\n		\n			\n			\n			\n			\n			View Image\n						\n						USC School of Cinematic Arts\n						\n			\n			\n			\n			\n			View Image\n						\n						USC Visions & Voices\n						\n		\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information about upcoming programming and events offered by USC Visions and Voices: The Arts and Humanities Initiative\, please visit their website. \n\n
