Welcome!

Though this class ended a few months ago, I'm keeping the blog up and alive because it seems a lot of people at other places are interested in the course and what we did. Anyone who is interested should feel free to explore.

For Erin Striff's Talk

Action List for Tuesday, April 7

I'm sorry I have not posted this earlier, but there's nothing too unusual.

• Hopefully, you have posted your blog entry about Ryan Claycomb's lecture. He was kind enough to post his lecture notes to the blog that he created for the talk, an amazing reference for all of us.
• Continue working on the visual arts project. It's due next week!

I am sorry not to be in class tonight, but the dinner for faculty who earned tenure this year is at the same time, and that is one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that I want to enjoy (and that my partner deserves to enjoy since he had to suffer the worst of the process with me). But enjoy the film; I look forward to your blog posts about it.
