Cultural Community Collaboration & Production
In this course we will produce the fourth annual Día de Muertos Celebration. The Celebration culminates in a community procession amid altars and performances honoring the Day of the Dead (November 2nd), contextualized by advance workshops and activities. The scope of this project requires planning with partners throughout campus, including students, staff, and faculty, as well as with regional community members. This experiential course will be modeled on Project Based Learning, as goals include engaging fruitfully with off-campus community, deepening cultural competencies, and strengthening project management skills. We will deepen our understanding of Mexican and Mexican-American cultures and contemporary Latinx experiences, as we plan and implement cultural events. Spanish-language skills are helpful but not required. This is a half-credit course.
