[History undergraduates] HIST 387 and Internship Opportunities
by Kara M Schlichting 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

Dear History Majors: As you plan your spring semester, I would like to? draw your attention to History 387, "Internships in History." The department offers this course as an independent study. Students can enroll to earn credits while interning in a history-related field. This course requires some advanced planning-we request that students try and start the process at least a semester in advance. If you are interested in both the course and an internship in an upcoming semester, I encourage you to review the course information available on the Department's website<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/Academics/Degrees/DSS/History/Opportunities-for-Stud…>, which includes a number of potential organizations that meet the course criteria. I also want to draw your attention to the additional opportunities listed below, which include Professor Wintermute's upcoming public history/oral history course and newly advertised internship opportunities. Please feel free to contact me at Kara.Schlichting(a)qc.cuny.edu with any questions. Sincerely, Dr. Schlichting Hist 388, Oral History: Methods and Applications Thursdays, 3:10 to 5:50, PH157 An undergraduate seminar introducing students to the theory, practice, and applications of oral history in public life. In cooperation with the Queens Library's Queens Memory Project, students will be working on a project connected with the 25th Anniversary of the first Queens Pride March. Following instruction and training in the oral historian's method, students will be paired with volunteer subjects to conduct extensive oral history interviews and create digital exhibits highlighting their experiences. Please contact Professor Wintermute at Bobby.Wintermute(a)qc.cuny.edu if you have further questions about the course. Queens Memory Oral History Projects Queens Memory?<http://www.queensmemory.org/> has a number of additional ongoing projects. If students are interested in doing their own independent studies related to the Queens Pride project or any of the other oral history initiatives, please contact Professor Schlichting at Kara.Schlichting(a)qc.cuny.edu. Union Docs UnionDocs is looking for intern candidates who study or work in film production, curation, or theory, with a vested interest in nonfiction media, programming, events, production, and storytelling.
