The centerpiece of this 1-credit class will be participation in a two-day workshop on the UMass campus.
Students who would like to sign up for this class but have schedule conflicts with the Thursday 7:00-9:00 time should contact Deborah Reiter at stpec@sbs.umass.edu for assistance.
The workshop will comprise three sessions, all of which are mandatory for enrolled students. On Thursday, March 24th from 7:-00-9:00 p.m (reception at 6:30)., two distinguished scholars, Mariana Ortega and Toure Reed, will deliver keynote addresses. On Friday, March 25th, local scholars will lead small-group discussions on the issues from 11:45 to 1:15. After a lunch break, all participants will reconvene for a closing plenary from 2:30-4:00. Students enrolled in the class will be expected to complete a set of preparatory readings prior to the workshop, and following the event will complete an analytical paper that engages meaningfully with the readings and presentations.
