Creating an Ethnodrama I

This is the first semester of a year-long sequence (Creating an Ethnodrama I and II) designed to prepare candidates to devise an original ethnodrama. Ethnodrama I introduces students to methods of qualitative research and prepares them to conduct original arts-based research. Candidates will learn and apply interview skills to interrogate a community-based issue from multiple perspectives. The culmination of part I is a research proposal that includes an introduction and statement of the issue, research question(s), literature review, and research methodology. 3 hr./wk.
