Sun. 9/7:
(ICPR) By 5 p.m.  Post on Serendip a reflection (ideas, questions, conundrums, close readings) on the reading for Monday.
We will build our conversation Monday around these reflections.

Mon. 9/8:
(ICPR) Eli Clare, Exile and Pride: Disability, Queerness, and Liberation
We will pay particular attention to "the mountain" and Part ii: bodies, "freaks and queers" and "reading across the grain"
Reread Solomon excerpt and bring to class revised identity graphs/models

(ENGL) By 5 p.m. create a webby post on Serendip, answering this question:
what name, what image, would you select to represent what you are learning
about who Eli Clare is/how he is in the world. Log in first--then you might
want to go straight to a 'visualization' of what's happened so far:
/oneworld/webby/380
Or you could look @ the webby posts 'roadmap':
/oneworld/webbylist/380
In either case, once you've read around in the posts that others have done, formulate
your contribution to the conversation that's evolving, and create a webby post:
/oneworld/node/add/webby-post?og_group_ref=380
Be sure to tag which post you're responding to, and the relation of your post to that one.
