An experiential learning course that will apply general principles of ethnographic fieldwork while studying childhood through an anthropological lens. Topics address the overarching question of how we build sustainable communities, specifically exploring how children conceptualize sustainability and local activism. Students will be placed in a semester-long, child-centered internship which will give them first-hand experience in working with children in the Spartanburg community. In addition to regular course sessions, students will spend three hours each week as part of their internship.
