Course Description:
This course introduces students to the concepts, theories and methods of ethno-historiography and community-engaged, human rights-centered research, demonstrating how we can 'read' the city and the college (and sometimes their interrelationships) from the archive and how these archives can provide counter narratives when seen through the lens of marginalized communities or members. Students will draw on literature about inclusive archiving and evidenced-based story telling in de-colonial studies, human rights, philosophy, anthropology and feminism while working hands on with selected community or campus archiving projects.
