Next class-Archive visit/ blog audit_ UPDATE

Hello all,

On Thursday,  the class is meeting with Martha and Vani in the archives. To prepare, I would like you to do the following:

If you haven’t read (or didn’t absorb) the Cassius Adair/Lisa Nakamura essay, “The Digital Afterlives of This Bridge Called My Back: Woman of Color Feminism, Digital Labor, and Networked Pedagogy,” please read that carefully.

Read the Shange Collection Finding Aid (click on the link in the upper right) and request one item from the archives by noon on WEDNESDAY. (If you are eager, you can request up to 3).

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

–The “before 9am” for this week’s blogpost  is lifted, you can do an open post on any reading from the semester– or do your archive find.

–Speaking of archives, Professor Kimberly Springer’s Black Feminism Archives: An archive of 1970s black feminist organizing, is open for perusal and has lots of great materials for an archive find!

–I won’t have office hours this week, but PLEASE sign up for a quick appointment with me next week to discuss your final project. (The yellow slots on this spreadsheet are for my other class.)

— RE THE BLOG AUDIT:

You can search name in the blog and usually get all of your posts, but if you want to see a list of  and print your blog posts:

1). go to the dashboard

2). Click “Posts” or “All Posts” and then click “Mine” in the top left corner

3). You can click “view” to see your post.

Once your post is opened, you can usually click “Ctrl P” to save as a PDF or to print directly. PROTIP: you can save ink and paper by pasting the URL into the Print Friendly website.

REMINDER: UNLESS THERE ARE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, ALL WORK MUST BE TURNED IN ON PAPER
