HUM 295-03 - Special Topic: Journal PublishingL Building Community in the Prairie Region

4 credits (Spring)

Cross-listed as: SST 295-03. This course will engage students as editors, publishers and entrepreneurs in creating an issue or Rootstalk, an interdisciplinary journal examining life and culture in the prairie region. The class will gather students, Grinnell visiting alumni, faculty and staff mentors to move the Spring 2018 issue from concept through publication. We will also be leveraging the journal as a tool for community-building as a form of activism. We’ll explore various outreach methods, as well as adapting some of the tools of anthropological research to our purposes. No experience in publishing or community action is required, and the course may be repeated for credit.

Prerequisite: Second-year standing.
Instructor: Andelson, Baechtel
