bridge: impact, labels, new issues; First group Presentations

• this bridge, from #1-#37, choose 10; grps do sections 1, 2, 3

• Due: partner presentations for sections 1, 2, 3

Today half of you will present your materials and lead discussion on sections from Anzaldua and Keating. What impact did the original "this bridge" book have? What did it contribute to "inclusion" in women's studies and feminist activisms? How does it connect with intersectionality? What issues do these authors see rising today and how do they suggest we take them up?

How to do it:

"You and a partner will do a presentation on this bridge we call home on one of two days. You need to find a partner right away so you can begin your planning. Each pair will be assigned by lot one section of the book to be responsible for working on. You may use a format similar to the one for summarizing if you like, or you two may come up with an alternative format you think would work even better for presenting these materials to the class. One of you will contribute a Post focusing on discussion questions to the blog, the other will contribute a Comment to that Post, suggesting interesting ways to put everything in context. The two of you will develop a handout for the class and bring copies for everyone on the day of the presentation. You will present for about 10 mins and lead discussion for another 15 mins. We will have as many as 4 presentations on a day."
