What kind of crafting practices have groups embraced to make an impact? This seminar explores craft projects created to foster reflection, make connections, and challenge perspectives (with a focus on projects displayed on college campuses). We’ll view examples of these projects through online image databases, documentaries, and short readings. We’ll also visit and craft in the UCSB library Makerspace during a seminar session. You'll practice sewing, embroidery, and knitting stitches to make at least one crafted item and write a reflection about it. No previous craft experience needed and all materials provided.

CollegeShe's is honestly the best professor at UCSB. She is incredibly caring and will give you as many opportunities as you need- she really cares about her student. While the content of her class might seem odd at first, its quite enjoyable at the end!
seems sweet but can be pissy when things don't go her way. lecture heavy and makes you talk in groups. weekly essay drafts, usually two paragraphs. repeatedly have us work on the same essay topics. ended up w/ two completed essays and one solo presentation. gives 96% on most work except for final essays. flexible due dates. confusing instructions.
Dr. Webber is the kindest and most caring professor. She is so understanding with late work and her deadlines are pretty flexible. She made Writ 2 incredibly enjoyable- I cannot praise her teaching style enough.
Dr. Webber was so delightful to have as a professor. Her lectures are filled with applicable stories and anecdotes that made the class really enjoyable and she was very receptive to the class. From the first time we met she always remembered my name and research topic and every conversation we had left a smile on my face.
Great professor! Very lenient and supports us in improving our writing. Gave us a lot of freedom to write and pursue our interests.
Very very caring about her students and is willing to give extensions and be lenient. Definitely take her if you can
