AMST 605 - Practicum in American Visual and Material Culture
Fall or Spring3Staff.
The practicum requires permission of both the instructor and specialist host prior to enrollment. It combines an individual learning experience in one area of hands-on or curatorial study with related directed readings. Students should propose a practicum at least one semester in advance of projected enrollment. In some cases the practicum can be combined with an assistantship assignment at a cultural institution. Ideally the chosen topic should relate to the student’s long-term professional plans. During the course of the semester students develop a research or bibliographic essay on their specialty.
