A two-year project to develop an interdisciplinary course sequence for undergraduates on Americana music.

Taught as part of the newly redesigned Honors Scholars’ Collaborative, this project will teach a set of courses that will train students to engage with Americana music from the perspectives of two disciplines in the Humanities: religious studies and rhetoric. Through this lens, the project will allow for the creation of a template for supporting students in the University Honor's program in the development and implementation of a research project in a humanities topic.
