3 hours Black History/Archival Praxis Description:This course will introduce students to varying methods and theories in archival practice through engaging with legacies and stories in Black History with particular attention to Black archival spaces in Chicago and the broader world. Students will learn how archival praxis can be implemented as a fruitful and valuable methodological body to explore varying aspects of marginalized histories and material culture. Students will complete an individual project exploring some facet of Black History through the use of archival methodologies or theories. There will be work to increase student familiarity with major Black archival spaces in the USA and how to access their materials. Several of the classes will be held off-site at the South Side Community Art Center where students will have the opportunity to work hands-on with archival materials and to develop archival skills. Some of the course topics include: the archive as a research tool, archival research as a creative practice, archives as didactics of history, contemporary archiving in our lives, and Black-centered archival work.
