HIST 101S CH -Latinx Oral Histories (CP)

Institution: Pomona

Description: Introduces students to community history in the field Chicanx/Latinx Studies through the theory, ethics, and practice of oral history. Together we read and discuss foundational texts in the field as we learn how to conduct, preserve, and make use of oral historical research. In collaboration with each other and community partners, students will record and archive oral histories based in surrounding Latinx communities and build a public archive for future generations to access knowledge of the past. The class culminates in a research project making use of the generated sources. Letter grade only. May be repeated once for credit.

Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
