Johns Hopkins University 3 credits Interdepartmental
The Commons is Hopkins’ newest arts and culture magazine, responding to Hopkins’ annual Common Question. Our course will collaboratively design and produce an issue of The Commons over the course of the semester. Composing The Commons takes a hands-on, lab-based approach to writing technologies, media archeology, and accessibility studies. This Humanities Research Lab will examine print and digital media, explore physical and digital archives, and experiment with methods of intermedia composition and translation. Students will write a peer-reviewed article and create photo essays, short stories, poems, games, and print and digital ephemera. Our aim is to publish and translate a well-researched, well-considered magazine in both print and digital formats, for many publics. All first-year students who have taken Reintro and all students at the sophomore level or above are welcome.
