Week 1: Interpretive Practices. How do we observe and make sense of the campus environments we encounter? Suggested field experience methods and approaches include: mapping or critical cartography, un-mapping (Razack, 2002), (re)mapping (Goeman, 2008), sketch-mapping, drawing/sketching, storytelling, creative writing, poetry (various genres), creative photography, arts-based practices, or other techniques chosen in consultation with the instructor.
