student engagement

 

Undergraduate and graduate students from institutions across Colorado visit the Media Archaeology Lab (MAL). To date, we’ve given tours to hundreds of students in Art/Art History, Computer Science, Engineering, English literature, Film Studies, Information Science, and Library Science. 

The following are syllabi which either feature the MAL or involve using a collection of analog or digital dead/zombie media artifacts:

• Digital Media and Civic Engagement (junior level, 2016, PhD student Jaime Kirtz)
• Introduction to Digital Media in the Humanities (sophomore level, 2016, Prof. Lori Emerson)
• Media Archaeology (graduate level, 2008, Prof. Darren Wershler)
