Hypothetical First-Year, Fall Semester:
HUMN 300/400 Introduction to Public Humanities & Civic Engagement, Theory and Methods
Drawing from the expanding discourse of Public Humanities and Civic Learning in Higher Education, this course will introduce students to the theory of civically engaged, humanistic learning, and to the craft of community-engaged practice. Units will include the role of the Academy in democratic access to knowledge and education, the role of the Humanities in Public Life, the place of the museum in the preservation and dissemination of knowledge, the role of public literacy and public art in the community, and will focus on case studies drawn from Art and Music history, Engineering, and Museum Studies among others.]
HUMN/ARTH 300/400 Painting on Walls
Since antiquity, walls have been sites for decoration, for mobilizing political action, and for coalescing community.Walls in Cleveland are no exception. This course explores the history of public mural painting from antiquity to the present day but it does so with an aim toward actively contributing to the civic life of our city. Students will join with community partner, LAND Studio, to develop the next stages of the InterUrban mural project. Established in 2016, the InterUrban project pairs artists with recipients of the Anisfield-Wolf book award to produce wall paintings that engage issues related to race and social justice. Together, LAND and the Anisfield-Wolf recipients have made Cleveland’s public transit system the site of humanities in action!
