ENG3980-01.Topics: Practicum in Media, Et.Sp16.McKain,Aaron

This practicum is open to students with developed skill sets in digital media, rhetoric, professional/creative writing, communications, critical theory, and marketing -- who are interested in working across disciplinary lines to try to get some actual public projects off the ground . (While also thinking -- a.k.a. theorizing -- about why -- aesthetically, ethically, and rhetorically -- some public projects succeed in the digital media era and others fail and where we get the authority to make, and teach, judgments like that in the first place.) Projects include: The production of educational materials in digital media ethics (for the purposes of partnering with a local school district and/or submitting them for publication), working with a professor-client on a civic art installation, and working with students-clients on an internal/external re-branding effort. Send brief inquires to amckain01@hamline.edu, explaining your fields of expertise and interest. ***Note: There may also be consulting/internship opportunities for students in legal studies, business and non-profit management, environmental studies, and public health; send inquires for those as well
