Description of the Position: (Purpose of the Position): Students work together with a faculty member on scholarly or artistic projects.
Project Title: Busking for Reparations
Faculty Mentor: Brian Evans
Project Description: How can “repair” be embodied in original performance, and how does presenting that work in open, busking-style settings shape artists’ and audiences’ understandings of social justice? Student artists will serve as researcher-performers—devising movement, spoken word, and music; performing on campus and in Northfield public spaces. The process is iterative: make → share → reflect → revise, with weekly check-ins and short debriefs after each pop-up set.
Timeline & fit:
Weeks 1–3: shared readings on reparations/repair, community-engaged methods, safety/access protocols.
Weeks 4–7: devising and micro-showings; finalize 2–3 busking mini-sets per student.
Weeks 8–14: weekly busking sessions, rapid reflection, and basic qualitative coding.
Weeks 15-16: Final Harvesting and co-created public sharing of findings
Students receive hands-on experience in devising, public presentation, accessibility practice, and qualitative methods.
Transferable Skills: Research and presentations.
Duties and Responsibilities: Each project has its own timing (number of hours per week and number of weeks), as determined by the individual faculty mentor. See the CURI Digital Olaf database for individual project descriptions and details.
