Each Monday, we will assign one or more readings, meant to facilitate our discussion during class the following week.

You are required to submit a response to the weekly reading(s) by Sunday night. Your response can be in writing (around 150-200 words,) but you are also welcome to respond with an art piece, a photographic essay, a website, a collection of memes, an audio recording, or any other format that best expresses your response to the assigned text(s). You should spend no more than 45-60 minutes preparing your response.

You should turn in your reading responses by pasting a link to it here.


In addition, each person will be responsible for leading one 30 minute discussion at some point during the semester based on the assigned readings, together with one other classmate.
