Topic: Children's folklore
This course will focus on the informal processes through which children negotiate childhood and as a means of understanding how children use folklore in their everyday lives to construct the status quo as well as resist it. Students will have the opportunity to engage in children¿s environments that are diverse in terms of economic and social status, race and ethnicity, and gender. We will look at children¿s forms of cultural production in relation to the communal, the common, the local, the marginal, the personal, the traditional, the emergent, the aesthetic, and the ideological. The final paper will combine library research with the 10-week service-learning lab (about 2 hours/week) with our partners at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Crestmont, Bloomington, and Ellettsville, Fairview Elementary, and Middle Way House (by permission only).
