Hi folks! Welcome to the Geographies of Social Justice class blog!
In addition to participating in the classroom, we will have a class blog which will allow you to reflect on the readings and class discussions, connect them to your own life and experiences, exchange ideas with classmates, and discuss the ways that we see geographies of social justice in our everyday lives. This assignment is therefore intended to help you focus your thoughts, think about the class material in new and different ways, and interact with your classmates (and potentially the wider public) in an online setting. Student blog entries are required reading for this course and may be included on the exams.
You will be expected to participate in the class blog a minimum of five times throughout the semester. At least one of your blog posts must be an original blog entry, and up to four may be comments/responses to another blog post on the site.
Original blog entries should:
- be carefully thought out and directly related to recent class readings and material;
- be at minimum of three paragraphs in length (600+ words);
- contain links to and/or discussion of outside sources which relate to the week’s readings (including other webpages, images, youtube videos, etc). These sources should help facilitate a discussion of the course topic;
- be free of spelling or grammatical errors.
Blog responses should:
- be at least one paragraph in length (200 words);
- indicate that you are familiar with class readings (including other students’ blog posts);
- be free of spelling or grammatical errors.
You may contribute to the blog as many times as you want, but only one blog post per week will count toward your final grade (i.e., you can’t do all four posts in one week).
