CHID 490 B: Research Seminar

RESEARCH SEMINAR, (UN)SILENCING THE PAST (VLPA, I&S) - THIS RESEARCH SEMINAR IS DESIGNED TO HELP STUDENTS CONCEPTUALIZE, DEVELOP, AND SIGNIFICANT RESEARCH PROJECTS IN A SINGLE QUARTER. THIS YEAR, WE WILL ASK: HOW DO CERTAIN FORMS OF HISTORICAL MEMORIALIZATION ACTIVELY OBSCURE AND SILENCE THE PAST (E.G. CONFEDERATE MONUMENTS)? HOW CAN WE COMPLICATE DOMINANT HISTORIES AND GENERATE ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF HISTORICAL MEMORY THROUGH CRITICAL ATTENTION TO PLACES, OBJECTS, AND INSTITUTIONS? STUDENTS WILL DEVELOP SHARED INTELLECTUAL FRAMEWORKS AND PURSUE INDIVIDUAL TOPICS THAT ARE MEANINGFUL TO THEM. - CONTACT NICK BARR FOR ADD CODES NICKBARR@UW.EDU
