COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this course, we will be working with our community partner, the local non-profit organization; the IPRC (Independent Publishing Resource Center). Our project is to coordinate a series of *rap sessions* with local teen girls about current issues in their lives. We will use these group conversations to encourage the girls to become a part of our ZINE project -- where they will write, edit, and publish a grassroots, mini-magazine with our class. In preparation for this project, we will read feminist scholarship about teenage girls as well as focus groups and zine publishing methodologies.
