Class description

Autumn 2008 Special Topic: Chicana Feminist Theory (Description to come):

Spring 2008 Special Topic: Cultural Studies and Public Scholarship

"Cultural Studies and Public Scholarship" explores the tensions and possibilities in projects that seek to merge these two paths of intellectual work. "American Sabor: U.S. Latinos in Popular Music" (currently on display at the Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum) will be used as a case study in collaborative cross-sector public scholarship. Discussions of the collaborative work of the exhibit will serve as an entry point for examining how questions around equity and the categories of gender, race/ethnicity, class, sexuality and cultural citizenship problematize struggles for the power to represent when theory meets practice. The seminar will also provide space for students to explore their own collaborative projects.
