TLC Lunch - Collaboration and the Food Without Borders Project

The Teaching and Learning Center presents TLC Lunches. TLC Lunches provide an informal setting for faculty members to discuss any and all aspects of teaching and learning that happen in and outside of the AUP classroom.

7 November, Collaboration and the “Food without Borders” Project

The Food without Borders (2017-2018) project brought together an anthropologist, a filmmaker, a group of AUP graduate and undergraduate students, a diverse sixth grade class, their teachers and their families to work on a collaborative ethnographic film project centered on memory, food and identity. 

Professor Christy Shields and Beth Grannis (MAGC student and co-founder/director of the non-profit Filmmakers without Borders), along with a few of the project’s AUP student-mentors, will briefly present the project and then focus their discussion on the notion and practice of collaboration, both inside and outside the classroom.  We hope the conversation will be of interest to others involved in (or simply curious about) collaborative learning.
