Haverford’s new Visual Culture, Arts, and Media (VCAM) facility houses the College’s Interdisciplinary Minor in Visual Studies, the Haverford Innovations Program, and the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities, and its new Philadelphia Area Creative Collaboratives initiative.

Maker Arts Technician and Coordinator Kent Watson ran a workshop, one of several he hosted last semester, to introduce the Maker Space.  “We together all created a fork—I thought was a fun, simple first design, ” said Watson. “But also there was a lot experimentation within that. You have a clear goal, you know what a fork looks like.” Photo: Patrick Montero

COOL CLASSES: “Oral History and Activism”

Oral History and Activism

This Peace, Justice, and Human Rights course explores the ethics, politics, and practice of oral history as an activist research methodology, and is focused on the theory, practice, and ethics of documenting oral histories.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.
