L98 314M: Topics in St. Louis: Artifact StL
What are some things you'd like to highlight about the course?
This course studies the city through objects, so we’ll take an approach that maybe you’ve not considered before. For example, we’ll study protest movements through art, colonization through maps, and segregation through…yep, sewer patterns. Oh, and we’ll also take a few trips off campus, visiting area cultural institutions and neighborhoods.
What are you most excited about?
I love teaching this course because #1 I love St. Louis, but #2 because every time I teach it, I get to learn so many new things about the city from my students.
