Course Description
In this course, students will collect and preserve the life-history narratives of Black Columbus, focusing specifically on stories having to do with literacy practices occurring in the home, church, community, and schools. Participants will read about the importance of undertaking life-history and literacy narrative projects, with a particular focus on preserving the history of African-American communities. Representatives of community-based organizations will be involved as guest speakers to talk about community participation and possible sites for collecting literacy narratives. Guest speakers who have participated in similar projects will also be invited to speak to the class. Class members will learn about interviewing techniques, look at/listen to life history/literacy narrative recordings, and reflect on such texts as a medium of social activism.
