Documenting the Migrant Journey In this course we will interrogate how migrants and immigration has been represented in the media, including the news, social media, books and film. As it will be part of the Mellon Migration program, we will invite Vermont-based stakeholders to class to talk about their experience, including Migrant Justice activists, local employers, immigration lawyers and others. This will provide the foundation necessary to conceive how we will portray the migrant experience in Vermont. Ultimately,students will produce their own multi-part audio documentary. To do this, they will learn interviewing skills, how to structure a narrative, write and edit a script, and use digital editing and sound design software. Instructor Approval  This course is part of the Axinn Center for the Humanities’ Mellon Foundation Public Humanities Initiative.

Professor Sue is very understanding and welcoming. She has been in this field for a looong time so she really knows her stuff. One of the most valuable things she has given us is connections that she spent her life making. We have been able to speak to people from all across the country to strengthen the production and process of our projects.
