This course guide is for use during the visit on Wednesday, October 9th, to the Beinecke Library by students in Comparative Ethnic Studies (ER&M 300), a first-year seminar taught by Professor Fatima El-Tayeb at Yale University in Fall Term 2024.
The information on the Collection Materials Used in Class Session tab on this course guide provides a quick overview of the collection materials we're looking at during today's class session. The posts for archival collections contain a link to the finding aid, or guide, to the collection and includes a link for each box that will allow you to request the box to the appropriate special collections reading room, in case you want to spend more time with the material on your own at some point. The same for the individually catalogued Yale publications also included on the tab.
During the class session on October 9th, each of you will have time to explore one or more of the collection items (boxes or publications) listed on the tab. We'll have time to hear from each of you about something relating to one of the items that you found particularly interesting. Here are some questions to consider when thinking about what you might tell your ER&M 300 colleagues about the item(s) you've looked at:
