Examples from Intro to Africana Studies (Fall 2016)

Introduction to Africana Studies taught by Professor Tim Olsen.

Excerpt from class syllabus: “Students will choose a topic or theme relevant to Africana Studies and, using the Mixonium software platform, explore it from multiple angles. Mixonium is an application that allows the user to combine various file types—pdfs, audio and video content, images, links—into a single interface.The centerpiece of this project will be a research paper of 5-8 pages. It’s OK if students expand upon a topic first explored in one of the Writing Assignments—in fact, one of the purposes of these assignments is to expose students to interesting and provocative ideas and personalities.”
