REQUEST FOR SYLLABI
The Community Arts Network and Imagining America’s Community Cultural Development Curriculum Project invite you to share with us the syllabi from your community arts and community cultural development courses. Your contributions will enrich the field’s knowledge base and assist IA’s current research into today’s teaching methods.

Your syllabi will appear on the Community Arts Network in the CANuniversity section under “Syllabi.” Here’s the URL to that section, for examples of what we are looking for. Please be sure to include the address of a related Web page if at all possible. For reference here’s the intro to the Syllabi section on CAN and its URL:

“As more and more artists and teachers initiate courses in community-based arts, the field is developing a knowledge base and a wide-ranging catalogue of references for learning.

“This is a growing collection of syllabi for some of the courses taught recently in the U.S. and beyond. They reveal the topics, materials and teaching methods being explored by those at the cutting edge of this work. Some of these courses directly address the skills of community-based art. Some of them are on related topics. Many use the essays and other features on CAN as teaching tools.

“More than simple lists of materials, these syllabi are glimpses of the thinking going on in the field and the ways educational tools are being used in research and development. We hope this feature opens a few more windows on community-based art and presents more opportunities for creative collaboration among working scholars and practitioners.”

NOTE:
1. PLEASE E-MAIL YOUR SYLLABI TO: syllabi@communityarts.net
2. Please don’t include any special formatting; that makes it harder for us.
3. Those of you who have already contributed syllabi may update them if you desire.
4. For your syllabi to be useful to IA, send them by April 1.

Thanks for your generosity,

Linda Frye Burnham
