FYS 166 Acting, Creating, Thinking
This course explores the process of learning a skill through the anthropology of learning and education. The course will partner informally with a creator in the Danville community, such as an artist, author, or chef, among other possibilities, so that students can engage in the process of learning a new skill using an apprenticeship model. Methodologically, the course will focus on examples of reflexive ethnography, autoethnography, and participant-observation. The students will produce an ethnographic account of their process of learning how to create.
