Short Description:
This session was designed for first year students in a course themed around museums, publics, and protests. Students were in the process of reading and learning about archival silences and museum histories of harm. Their assigned readings for the week of the library session included two case-studies focused on museum relationships with Native American cultural material in North America and Benin cultural material in Europe. The central goal of the library session was to help students generate strategies for moving forward with research despite historical silences in library, museum, and archival collections. You will find detailed notes in the notes section of my slides.

Short Description:
This session was designed for first year students in the Global Health Humanities Gateway class. For their final assignment students were required to curate a Padlet exhibit that offered a critical close reading of images centered around an issue in global health humanities. The library instruction session was focused on helping students with the process of finding images as well as locating secondary sources that would allow them to contextualize the images they found. You will find detailed notes in the notes section of the slides.

Short Description:
Students were assigned a 15-20 page research paper requiring them to write a cultural history of a primary source, including discussion of the historical context surrounding their selected source and how the source relates to U.S. militarism in Asia or the Pacific or colonialism and empire more broadly. Students were required to ask and answer a research question. This could be an original research question or something that was understudied. They could use their selected primary source to both generate and answer a research question. You will find detailed notes in the notes section of the slides.
