LACT 521 Field of Study I

The course provides graduate-level depth of scholarship pertaining to human lactation studies. Each student works one-on-one with a faculty mentor and the course content is individualized for each student. The student and instructor collaboratively identify a specific field of study for the student and the title of that field of study goes on the student’s transcript, e.g., Art, Faith and Divine Inspiration; Public History; Women’s Studies; Archaeology; African Diaspora Studies; Postpartum Depression, Alternative Wellness; Graphic Novels as Literature; or, Female Victorian Authors. The student and instructor develop an Individualized Learning Component that supplements the course syllabus and identifies concepts, theories, notable authors and key texts in the chosen field to be examined, as well as assignments to be accomplished by the student. Emphasis is on student initiative, guided reading and learning, and regular and frequent one -on - one communication between student and instructor.
