Overview of class

How can scholars collaborate with artists, communities, organizations and institutions to produce culture and disseminate knowledge? This course trains students in participatory methods, how to design studies where research questions both critique and create culture and where researchers share responsibility for directing the study. Students will learn the intellectual traditions under participatory research - research creation, action research, arts- and community-based research - then design or pilot their own studies, with a focus on utilizing digital communication tools and developing relationships with people and groups outside of the university.

Please note, the first session for this course on April 4th will meet from 2-5pm, instead of 11-2pm.
