The “erm-BYAH!-O O O “: Singing Through Life practicum course aims to provide students the opportunity to look critically at themselves and their world through the lens of performance ethnography.
Learning Objectives:
This course will guide students to:
- Recognize and identify diverse forms of musical engagement,
- Assess, for themselves, the role that singing (and the voice more broadly) plays in their lives,
- by way of self-reflective and critical ethnographic engagement and data gathering,
- exposure to diverse perspectives and contexts,
- and thorough comprehension of central texts,
- understanding that each student will come to their own unique conclusions.
- Consider the broader impact of music-making on human societies, and
- Create and curate multi-modal ethnographies for public audiences around their findings.
This section contains each iteration of the course syllabus, student-produced ethnographies sorted by term, and insights into the methodology used for course projects.
