Promoting Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Humanities Research: A Case for the Continuous Course Lab
Lawrence, Halcyon M.; Lozier-Laiola, Sarah; Scott, Alexis; Larson, Brian
Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, v3 n4 p35-45 Sum 2020
The article introduces the continuous course lab (CCL) as an alternative model for conducting undergraduate research in the humanities. CCL segments large-scale research projects into smaller-scale projects that are run over a series of semesters. The CCL model is unique in that it provides majors from outside the humanities with exposure to humanities research questions, methods, and communities of practice. To illustrate how the CCL model may be adopted in the humanities classroom, a case study is presented of the model at work in a technical communication class over seven semesters.
