UH students took on sequence three research methods workshops during the Winter quarter. Working with artists, filmmakers, and community activists, UH students were introduced to experimental filmmaking (Filmic Sensing), art and art process as activism (Spatial Ethnography), and sound narratives (Podcasting) to explore different “ecologies” of Los Angeles and create compelling urban narratives around spatial justice issues. UHI alumni Doga Tekin (Linguistic Anthropology) and Rebecca Smith (Comparative Literature) started the methods sequence with Podcasting, followed by the Filmic Sensing workshop (using 8mm cameras) led by Lisa Marr and Paolo Davanzo from Echo Park Film Center, and concluded with Spatial Ethnography taught by artist-activist Sandra de la Loza and community activist Elva Yanez.
