RE-introducing the Crimson Safari
What is the Crimson Safari?
The Crimson Safari activity is based on a course by Robert Siegel called "The Stanford Safari." The "safari" approach asks students to "defamiliarize themselves" with the familiar sites, sounds, and experiences of Stanford University and its environment.
Similarly, UA students will study the University of Alabama and its various contexts with a focus on how people interact, problems people have, and other behaviors, artifacts, or experiences they observe. The point is to take seemingly mundane observations and shape them into possible opportunities for entrepreneurial action.
How shall we safari?
Every day for two weeks of the Summer I session students of MGT 386 will report on this blogspot at least five observations they have made about the University of Alabama. These observations can consist of one sentence. Pictures or short videos are particularly welcomed. You can think about it as an analog to tweeting on Twitter.
Every day each student will elaborate on ONE of those observations at greater length. For example, a student might explain the observation in greater depth, explain the context in which it was made, comment on why s/he picked it, and/or speculate on its history, current significance, and future impact
