This is a great class for students interested in careers in education or the culturals (i.e. museums and similar institutions). We focus on how to turn historical content into public history. Our major project is doing research in the St. Bonaventure Archives and turning it into an educational game. Specifically, we work on the Civil War special collections, the core of which is the Mark H. Dunkelman and Michael J. Winey 154th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment.
Who should take this class?
-- students interested in the Civil War
-- students interested in designing educational games and exhibits for the public
-- students who enjoy doing hands-on projects
