Although Colorado College has been co-ed since its founding, its dormitories were a different story. Archived campus master plans show separate female and male dorms were initially located on opposite ends of campus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho were the voices to say, \u2018This is not coeducation if we are engaged in dialogue and discussion during the classes but isolated during our co-curriculars?\u2019\u201d Jane Murphy, professor of history, asks.<\/p>\n

A course that will be co-taught by Murphy and Jennifer Golightly, the Information Technology Services department academic applications specialist, in Block 5 is hoping to answer that questions and more. Some other examples Murphy gave were: \u201cWhat was this land before it was a college?\u201d and \u201cWho owned it before it was colonized?\u201d<\/p>\n

The course, titled \u201cDigital History\/Public History Practicum: Space, Place, and Belonging at Colorado College\u201d aims to engage students in ongoing, independent projects that will examine the institution\u2019s transformation over time.<\/p>\n

Last year during Block 5, professor Tip Ragan and Golightly co-taught the college\u2019s first digital history course, as a part of the Digital Liberal Arts Exploration, funded by a Mellon grant. They are hoping that this coming sequel will be an impetus for more public history courses\u2014courses that engage with local resources to examine the contemporary debates of Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n

The course will include a number of partnerships with both local and digital resources, including field trips to the History of Colorado Museum in Denver, Special Collections on campus, and the Pioneers Museum in Colorado Springs. Using archives, students will learn how to develop research questions and how to use technology to help answer those questions by charting data patterns.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore broadly, how do we understand an institution\u2019s coming to being and its transformation over time? Who has been here, not been here, and what experiences in what context?\u201d Murphy says. \u201cAll of these threads from the past are still with us in humans living in this area.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
