Drawing from a course taught at Ohio State University, this presentation will provide a framework and a model to discuss the practice and epistemology of teaching and researching from a collaborative and multi-modal point of view. The course that was designed and implemented had one main goal: to provide undergraduate and graduate students with seminal knowledge about Japanese American Internment in the U.S. so they could, at the end of the winter quarter, document, via a digital camera and through written reports, important stories from the lives of former Japanese American internees. The strategies to carry forth this project required many resources, not to mention the expertise of multiple, trained professionals and the support of Japanese American community members whose participation was vital to this process.
