The Male Gaze in Cinema

Co-designed and taught with Miikka O. Jaarte. Fall 2024, Stanford University.

Student evaluations mention:

  • “Miikka and Lis are such an amazing and dynamic duo. They're funny and extremely knowledgable and really showed me a lot about the history and nuances of the male gaze. Definitely would recommend this class.”

  • “This is definitely my favorite class so far at Stanford, and I always look forward to this class. Lis and Miikka are absolutely wonderful instructors who are just here to share their passion about movies and to hear what you have to say about the male gaze in cinema.”

Susanna and the elders, Tintoretto

Reading Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason

Advanced undergraduate seminar.
Universität zu Köln, Winter 2019.

Student evaluations mention:

  • “I’m always looking forward to the seminar, even though it is really hard and pretty complicated for me, but your passion and knowledge of the subject makes the seminar, despite its sometimes dry content, very interesting and enjoyable! Also your always being able to answer any questions and ability to rephrase answers is impressive and makes the content accessible and up to date/ applicable to everyday examples”

  • “Die Dozentin wirkt begeistert von ihrem Fach und gibt dies an die Studierenden weiter. […] Alle Fragen werden beantwortet.”
