Teaching 资源

H&A in Action believes in engaging students in experiential learning to involve students with 活跃的ly contested questions, empirical observation, cutting-edge technologies, 和 the sense of excitement that comes from working to answer important questions. 参与d public programming, engaged research, engaged teaching, 和 outreach all offer an opportunity for first generation college students in this minority-serving institution to participate in:

  • integrated programming that offers a range of storytelling projects across the humanities while building a rich map of 硅谷’s layered 和 complex stories 和 experiences during the p和emic;
  • curriculum that supports digital humanities projects that invite public participation; 和
  • research projects that offer an intervention of the current technology sector’s power 和 provide goals 和 set st和ards for human-centered technology. (见 值 & 任务)

We invite all faculty to collaborate with faculty coordinators 和 integrate their public programming, events, workshops, performances, 和 discussions into their courses. 去看 current year's list of upcoming events with faculty coordinators' 电子邮件 addresses, 检查我们的 时事 or 报告 和 出版物. For examples of interesting collaborations, see our Stories of 参与ment.

As events are added to the 菠菜网lol正规平台 Calendar, they will appear on our 时事 清单. 

We offer help for integrating these events into your courses by offering a variety of assignments that faculty can easily revise, remix, or reuse for their own courses. 

Integrating this programming into a course doesn't have to be a high stakes assignment 和 can be more than attendance at an event. For instance, student engagement could be in the form of a shared socially annotated reading. Or capturing 和 curating interviews in an archive. Or through oral 和 digital storytelling like the San Jose Storymap or the mapping of San Jose public art in the Heart of the Valley 和 San Jose Murals & 街头艺术. 或者创建一个 walking tour like the Public Art as Resistance Walking Tour. 或者创建一个 Podcasting for Public 参与ment to provide background for a musical, dance, or theatrical event.

If you would like to brainstorm on how to create 活跃的 engagement for your students in which they are creating the knowledge that supports an event, please contact Katherine D. Harris, Director of Public Programming (电子邮件  |  open office hours).
