SPAN 186 : NARRATIVES: LATIN AMERICA

The stories humans tell inform their place in the world. We study expressions of humanity to practice informed citizenship, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. This humanities research methodology course examines which stories get privileged and why; which narratives shape our cultural values; and how we come to learn our cultural and historical traditions. In Narratives, students will learn methods for analyzing texts and artifacts (such as manuscripts, printed and digital texts, works of art, material objects, film & video, oral testimonies, and audio recordings) within their various contexts and will learn how to find and deploy supporting evidence in pursuit of their own research questions.
