SUMMARY:SCREENING ADOPTION: ADOPTION FILM SERIES/ ADOPTEE AUDIENCE RESEARCH
DESCRIPTION:Adult adoptees are invited to a free six-film screening series\, starting June 17\, and to participate in research on adoptee audience responses to films containing adopted characters and/or adoption plots/subplots. Attendees may join one\, several\, or all screenings. After each film\, attendees will be asked (but not required) to complete a brief survey on their response to the film’s adoption content. All participation is voluntary\, anonymous\, and includes informed consent. RSVP required via Google Form (https://forms.gle/RgLLScreening Adoption Adoption Film Series and Research Project eFyxrb5AbaTX7).\n\n\n\nDr. Kim Park Nelson’s research is part of a larger book project on adoption representation in film (working title “Strangers in the House: Adoption Trope in Film\,” under contract with Rutgers University Press) and this research will contribute to one or more chapters. Audience response is common in film studies\, but adoptee perspectives on adoption-themed films have rarely been studied.\n\n\n\nCan’t attend a screening but saw one of the films within the past six months? You may still participate as a research respondent by contacting Dr. Park Nelson at kim.park.nelson@gmail.com.\n\n\n\nFilms will be screened with English subtitles except “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” (no subtitles available). Each film contains adoption-related content that some viewers may find difficult to watch\, and the film ratings (PG\, PG-13\, and R) reflect the level of adult content in each film. Please watch at your own discretion.\n\n\n\nFind more information on the research\, Dr. Park Nelson\, films\, locations\, and parking in the event PDF (https://drive.google.com/…/1deXLzAfpYlqJE3Py944…/view…).
