Description:

This course is an introduction to everyday artistry around the world.

Because much of the course deals with the breadth of vernacular culture, course participants will write several papers and read several specific book-length studies to gain a depth in the field. Additionally, course participants will conduct a small-scale fieldwork project. 3 credits
