ARCHIVE
This page leads to all EOTU student writing, which is categorized by topic (though many student projects are listed under more than one subject heading, as one might expect). Within each topic, we've arranged student work chronologically: we hope this will help you show your students how they can build on previous inquiries.

GATEWAYS
These designate the areas of concentration with which EOTU started. We provide these gateways, and background on them, as a way of stimulating thought. At the same time, we want EOTU faculty to understand that these gateways are fluid catalysts rather than fixed areas within which EOTU courses must be conducted. For the 2006-2007 academic year, we anticipate focusing on the topic of "Articulation," a cross-campus endeavor within the state of Illinois asking two primary questions: 1) How do students understand and articulate their institutional identities at UIUC, UIC, ISU, and Parkland?; 2) How do such articulations correspond to the articulations of courses and curricula issued by the Illinois Board of Higher Education, and what mobility among institutions is thereby afforded undergraduate students in Illinois?

Methods (PEDAGOGY)
These pages describe our pedagogical commitments and practices, and provide some background information about the iLabs (originally "Inquiry Page") software.

iLABS HOME, iLABS EOTU FACULTY SITE, AND iLABS MANUAL
If you or your students run into any kind of problems using the iLabs software that you can't immediately and easily solve, we urge you to email David McDonald, the EOTU Program Coordinator, for support.

NARRATIVES AND ETHNOGRAPHY
The sample narratives help demonstrate to students that the university is indeed the site of conflicting and contesting narratives. Prior EOTU faculty have found it helpful to direct students to the sample ethnographies we provide, even if their course is taught outside the discipline of Anthropology. We welcome suggested links to other narratives and ethnographies.

UNIVERSITY LIBRARY MATERIALS
Library staff members have constructed an inordinately thoughtful and helpful overview of relevant library resources. If you want to take your class to the library for a physical introduction to these resources, we recommend that you get in touch with Merinda Hensley, whom we thank for his ongoing help. Among the relevant sources is the Student Life and Culture Archival Program, a one-of-a-kind collection of student materials and memorabilia gathered over the years, directed by Ellen Swain.

EOTU LIVE
While we believe the entire "EOTU Live" site has great pedagogical value, you may find the "Making" section especially helpful as students begin their fieldwork.

CONSENT AND PERMISSION FORMS
We've gathered all of these on one page, along with links to sites providing background information, for students to download either in MS Word or PDF format. All student-directed pages on the EOTU Website include a link to this page--so it should not be hard for your students to find it.
