Buildings-Landscapes-Cultures Field School
In this joint summer course held alternatively at UW-Milwaukee and UW-Madison, students, faculty, scholars and community members explore ways to see and interpret Wisconsin cities by engaging multiple stakeholders in storytelling, ecological conservation, heritage preservation and civic engagement. The specific objective of this project is to 1) encourage community-based learning and collaboration, 2) collect local histories of places of cultural relevance, 3) gain skills that allow professionals to collect and analyze data, 4) use the power of digital humanities to disseminate research data, and 5) empower local communities by hearing and responding to those voices that are often not heard in civic and official discourses.
