Description

The course addresses knowledge-production from an experiential, hands-on approach with research materials acting as informative and supplementary to students’ creative work. Drawing from DIY culture and Riot Grrrl feminism, the assignment structure remains open to allow students to create their own content and realize the power of self-authorship as they learn from primary source materials that were also self-authored. It was important to me that the research and sketchbook exercises live in the world, too, so I made the syllabus into a zine and distribute it in bookstores, zine libraries, and online.
