In this Experiential Learning course, students learn hands-on skills either by working on a research project (e.g., running experiments, conducting fieldwork, reviewing literature) or on a pedagogical project with a focus on Indigenous language revitalization. Students can collaborate on a faculty member’s research project or propose a project to be supervised by a faculty member or jointly by an Indigenous community leader and a faculty member.
