Class/Interview/Object Project

Drawing from an in-depth interview with someone about an object  that person cherishes, students write and perform a first-person narrative that evokes a complex representation of "class".   Additionally, students photograph the interviewees with their objects and the interviewees photograph the objects in any manner they wish. Through this project students problematize how class is typically represented in mainstream media as they elaborate the many ways in which class position - and cultural manifestations of class - are shaped.
