Place Research and Education

Place Research will unearth and uncover a story of a fellow's place that is personally relevant. In this course, fellows put into practice skills of research, documentation, observation, self-reflection, and oral history. Place Corps Fellows learn about their landscape and are connected with the people, organizations, and institutions of their places for effective resource sharing and access to opportunity. A few questions we'll be asking include: Why is place important? What is my place? How do I know my place? What am I learning about my place? What is my relationship with my place? How has my place impacted me and what is my impact on my place?

Fellows will work on their Place Research projects throughout a full trimester, and present their Place Stories to the community as oral histories, supported by visual storytelling.
