Course Description: Arts & Community Development

Arts & Community Development

50-2631

Course introduces students to theory and practice of the arts as social action. Students undertake fieldwork in one of several on-going arts-based community projects. This practical work in a real-world situation is supported by readings and discussions in social and community psychology, the role of the arts in community development and methods of community research. Students will design a community research project and create personal narratives in their chosen medium reflecting some aspect of the course.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
