Collaborative Phenomenology
Students are tasked to select a material artifact connected to a class topic and annotate it with a title, a brief description, and a discussion of its symbolic value. The submissions are then either printed or (if possible) brought to class and exhibited in the classroom "museum-style", displaying the real-world manifestations of the class theoretical material.

​

Objectives:

- Stimulate student engagement by providing a different, real-world perspective on class material
- Leverage self-object relationship to activate learning via embodied cognition
