This assignment asks you to identify a theoretical reading from the list below and one of the primary sources from the anthology (M&M S2-4), to engage with these texts in consideration of Black Studies’ interdisciplinary perspective, your personal connection to the texts, and ability to communicate your views and insights across different media. Students should draw connections between their 3 primary sources (theoretical reading/anthology document/student research), highlighting course themes as they respond in an original, innovative, and creative format, combining two different types of media.
The goal of this project is to expand the practice of historical research and critique beyond the borders of locations, ideology, institution, and discipline, repositioning historical scholarship in a digital age and re- contextualizing criticism through a creative lens aimed to increase accessibility and interest through a public, digital humanities approach to preserving and sharing knowledge. Students should consider the digital publication medium, being aware of the layout and accessibility issues.
