Course Description
This interdisciplinary course explores how narratives of the Southwest are created, from historical accounts to folklore, from policy making to art forms. We'll use academic-and community-based perspective-taking to explore the power of stories in and around the Southwest, including how their meaning changes over time, where the facts are in conflict, and who holds the power to control the official narrative. Students will analyze and work creatively with a range of materials across sources and media, applying methods of both the humanities and the arts. Active discussions facilitated by the instructor ensure that students make connections across these materials and learning experiences.
