This community-engaged learning (CEL) course aims to foster relationships between students and various community partners (local historical societies, art galleries, hospitals, schools, media outlets, and service organizations) in order for students to connect their study of literature with local community histories, needs, and cultural productions. Through internships, field trips, archival research, interviews, and/or service, students will produce research for public dissemination (talks, conferences, exhibits, publications, podcasts, performances, etc.).
