Prospect+Hill

=Prospect Hill Terrace Initiative=

Since 2007, Cultural Production graduate students and faculty have pursued a partnership with the Tenants Association of Prospect Hill Terrace, the largest and oldest public housing development in the City of Waltham. Students have collaborated with tenants in an ethnographic film project on gender and activism, helped to foster a democratic culture of civic engagement, worked to develop a community learning center, and organized specific programs for children, teens and adults in the arts and cultural enrichment.
