Fieldwork

Fieldwork is an immersive and multidisciplinary process that allows students to explore a cultural issue or topic in a "real world" context through an approved course such as "On Location: Exploring America," "The Race for Criticism: African American Culture and Its Critics," or "Fashioning America: A Cultural History of Fashion, Shopping, and Advertising."


Fieldwork courses are multidisciplinary and provide a structured experience of fieldwork that builds toward a reflective  final class project. For current field-based course listings, see our page here.

The Fieldwork requirement--which I satisfied through the best class I've taken here, Bob Hansman's Community Building--introduced me to parts of the city I'd never seen, pushed me to think more deeply about my role in St. Louis and responsibility to the community, and put me on a path toward fulfilling and enriching civic engagement opportunities. Fieldwork is an opportunity to get involved in your new home town.
