This seminar style course will be developed in collaboration with the research interests of the participants, and is structured as a supervised independent study/SKIL. Class meets monthly – time TBD among registered participants – for feedback, check-in and accountability support. Each student will develop their syllabus and reading list and course of study with the instructor’s guidance, and the entire class will be a resource for one another and benefit from the collective learning. Students should come to the first session of class with a proposed syllabus prepared, for feedback & workshopping among the group. Evaluation is based on periodic reflection papers, in-class sharing, and final project.
