Course Description:
As political theorists increasingly make use of archival research, they have had to grapple with significant ethical, political, and methodological concerns. These concerns are all the more pressing when such research includes materials that document the histories and legacies of slavery, racism, and colonization. This course explores the possibilities and limits of archival research, as well as how to engage in this research responsibly. The course also includes a significant Community Learning component. We will be working with the Witness Stones Project to help document the history of slavery in Connecticut. Please note that this may involve occasional commitments outside of our regularly scheduled class time. |
