Project Description

Through the support of this TD project, the project leader aims to develop an extensive experiential learning project through the creation of a 4000-level HUMA course that focuses on student-driven research.

This 4000-level HUMA course:

• allows students who are passionate about a subject matter to conduct an independent research project over a longer period of time, with greater resources and guidance
• helps them design a more sophisticated research methodology
• develops networks to collect primary data
• provides them enough time and space to integrate all that they have gathered and present their insights and findings to the very community whom they decided to research and learn about in the first place.

Project Outcome

The project is still ongoing. Project outcomes will be updated upon project completion.
