Africana Studies
Undergraduate and Graduate Seminar
Th 2:10-4PM
This hands-on, project-based course introduces students to the use of digital tools and sources to organize and manage their archival research, interpret their findings and communicate their results to the public. This semester, the course is somewhat different than the usual research course in that, rather than simply going more deeply into the course focus, you will be asked to apply your knowledge to make new things. We will continue to work with our archival partners and with experts at the International Center for Photography to help you develop projects that teach some aspect of Ntozake Shange's work and/or The Black Arts Movement to a larger audience. But while making these new things, we will have ongoing discussions about the nature of and evolving protocols for digital scholarship. You should be making plans to visit the archive appropriate to your project. By the end of the semester, you'll have sharpened your research skills while also acquiring digital, teamwork, and project management skills that will be useful in other classes and beyond.
