Section Information for Fall 2026

Community engaged history sets a participatory methodological pathway towards shared authority between academic scholars and people living past legacies in the present. It is a reciprocal, collaborative, and multivocal ethic to research that combines oral, documentary, and archival approaches. Community engaged history provides an especially appropriate mode for expanding inclusive, diverse narratives in the field. In this seminar, we begin with immersion in literature and build skills for practice. We then apply learning to ongoing research for a research project on local and transnational Indigenous identities. Students will work with community partners in the field and on campus.
