This Community-Based-Learning course examines how digital storytelling enables communities to express themselves and to gain social visibility through literary and media discourses. How do traditionally marginalized communities tell their own stories? Together with the Springfield-based Latino Youth Media Institute, students will research and produce digital stories on issues that affect the North End community in Springfield. Throughout the semester, students will alternate classroom instruction and fieldwork.

Prereq: Two 200-level courses above Span-212
