Don Melander developed and taught a course at NEC called “Literature as Film, Film as Literature.” In the 1980s, he and a colleague in the history team taught period courses in American culture in which they explored the possibilities of using movies as cultural “texts.” During the last decade of his career at NEC, he taught the film course for the Communications program.
