Archives Concentration 340 - CAPSTONE SEM: ARCHIVES CONCEN

The capstone seminar brings together a cohort of concentrators to explore contemporary issues at the intersection of archives and public history. The seminar readings will focus each week on case studies about contemporary controversies in interpretation and dissemination that explore the competing uses of the past made by various groups. The readings also encourage students to ask expansively "what counts as an archive?" In addition, each concentrator will complete an independent project, usually an exhibit, that draws upon concentrators' own expertise developed through their coursework and their practical experiences. Open only to students in the Archives Concentration. Enrollment limited to 15.

Instructor Permission. Not open to first-years, sophomores
