The Graduate Division and the College of Creative Studies are delighted to announce a second round of Crossroads 2.0. We invite pairs of graduate students to submit a proposal to teach an undergraduate course to be offered in the College of Creative Studies (CCS) during the 2022-23 academic year. The course should be built around a social justice or environmental justice theme, and would be taught by two graduate students coming from different fields (i.e. distinguishable disciplinary epistemologies). MacKenzie Wade (Anthropology) and Mariah Miller (Global Studies), winners of the first Crossroads 2.0 competition, are teaching their course, “Alternative Foods, Alternative Economies: Creative Collaborations to Reimagine the Food System,” this winter quarter.
In CCS, the goal is to offer an educational experience that presents students with opportunities to discover how their own disciplinary knowledge can come together in generative ways with that of other disciplines around an important issue. CCS already offers incredible opportunities for undergraduates to explore a specific discipline deeply; this course would provide one opportunity for them to work on thinking across disciplines.
