HIST 411 - Service Learning in Public History

(3.00)

This is a research intensive course designed to provide students with real-world experience in the development and implementation of a public history project. The course will typically be taught in cooperation with an external partner for whom the class project meets a pressing need. The specific content of the course will vary based on instructor expertise and partner needs. Students in the course will receive intensive training in a marketable skill, such as oral history interviewing, historic site documentation, digital storytelling, program development, or interpretation. They will complete a project on behalf of a local public history organization, building a relevant work history with faculty guidance and supervision. This course is repeatable for a maximum of 6 credits or 2 attempts.
