The objective in this course is to partner with a museum or cultural institution to study the interpretive planning process and develop ideas to affect community involvement.

Project Arabber: A Documentation Research Plan
Documentation
Harold Anderson, PhD.
Winter Residency 2011
With all residency courses, extensive readings are required before the on-campus experience.
During the residency we were introduced to methods of fieldwork and began to apply techniques in predetermined sites chosen by the professor. Our work included, field notes, personal journals, narratives, photography, as well as audio and video recordings. In preparation for our Fieldwork Course, we prepared a Document Research Plan. Several of my colleagues are currently taking this course. I will not be doing my field work until the fall 2011 session. However, I wanted to continue working with the Arabber and Food Desert Project which was introduced during our residency. I submitted my Documentation Plan to continue working with Dr. Anderson on this project.
