STEAM Themes: What Do Stories Teach Us?
Themes are STEAM! Practice the key social science method called thematic analysis with Ariel Cascio, anthropologist and assistant professor of bioethics and social justice. Thematic analysis involves paying close attention to pictures, words, and stories to find themes. Themes are central ideas that come up again and again. Come read and sort stories and comics featuring characters like the Hare and the Tortoise, Popeye, and Charlie Brown. What are the central ideas of these classic stories and jokes? Do they still apply to your life? Come tell us what you think.
