late post

Sorry to post this a little late everyone:

So what did I add to the syllabus yesterday, let's see....

• email me your consent form so I can give you feedback before you go out interviewing.
• make sure you have set up a time and person to interview.
• come up with ten questions for that interview.
• reading as mentioned on syllabus
• there are links on blackboard, under Class Links: "The Woman with Two Vaginas" and "Smiling Indians." To pair with "Smiling Indians," follow the link to the excerpt of Smoke Signals. {To the left is a picture of Sherman Alexie, the screenwriter of Smoke Signals, smiling wonderfully.} If you go in to it at 5:00 minutes, you'll be at the scene I'd like you to watch. They are on a bus.
• Please email me one discussion question based on any reading so far that interests you, so that I can let your interests lead our discussion.

I will work on the schedule for the rest of the quarter to give to you tomorrow. Can I assume everyone can get an interview in the next week? Let me know if that is rushing it too much for you.


Here is a funny clip for Sherman Alexie at the People of Color Conference in Seattle 2006. He's in the middle of the story at the beginning, but the rest is really worth it.
