EDUC 240 - Building an Alumna/i Archive: Documenting Our Work through Qualitative Research Methods

1 unit(s)

The purpose of this intensive is to help in the creation of a robust, interactive, and evolving alumna/i archive for the Education Department. As the Department has grown over the last ten years, many of our former students remain a vital resource, inspiration, and connection for our current ones. Our almuna/i are engaged in community-based movements, transformative educational spaces and schools, and grassroots educational justice and activism. This intensive helps the department organize and conduct panels, focus groups, and surveys to map what our students do when they leave us, forge connections between them and our currently enrolled students, and help us build a web-based database. Students in this intensive also are immersed in learning research methods and skills, mostly qualitative, including survey design, interview protocols, observations, and data analysis. This course also counts towards the Research Methods requirement for the Educational Studies Major. Maria Hantzopoulos.
