Professor Natale-Boianelli's students selected a culture they'd like to explore through three of the major assignments in the course:

• a paper exploring a similarities across a series of creation myths, including one from their selected culture and two from the course readings,

• a paper comparing a mythological hero from their culture to a contemporary hero using Joseph Campbell's hero's journey as a tool of analysis,

• and a project tracing the influence of a facet of one of their culture's myths to modern day media. 

Check out some student explorations below!
