Description
This program supports students doing individual creative and research projects. Students will enroll for SOS, then design their quarter-long, contract-style work plans using input from the faculty member. In the first week of the program, each student will prepare a project proposal, and then complete that project during the quarter. The program will have weekly class sessions where students will report on their progress, share work-in-progress, conduct peer reviews, get advice and guidance. Students must attend and participate in these sessions. Students will maintain and submit a process portfolio and reading journal. We will have in-class student readings of their work at the end of the quarter.
The weekly meeting is intended to provide a sense of community and support to students. All other contract obligations will be worked out individually with the faculty member.
The faculty member has particular expertise in the following topics: French, Francophone Caribbean, African and Canadian literature, German philosophy and literature, studies in symbology, ritual, mythology and comparative religions.
