I. Announcements
- Tuesday's readings are NOT easy. Pace yourself (choose 2 instead of 3 as the syllabus states). Reading strategy for (invisibilized) critical theory: Don't focus on what you don't understand... stay focused on the lines, paragraphs, and pages that you do understand.
- Can we move to room 135 (departmental request)? Are there mobility issues in room 135 that we need to be aware of?

VI. "The 5 Questions Every Organizer Should Ask"
1. Who am I? What are your interests? What's your best position?
2. Who are YOUR people? (this does not mean biological family, but the folk you connect with; this also is not about neo/liberalism--- i.e., the whole world) 3. What do you want? What are you fighting for? What are your transformational demands? 4. What are we building towards? What are you FOR (not just what you are AGAINST)? 5. Are you READY to win? What is your long-term strategy (50-70 years into the future) here? |
Answer this for yourself AND the 1 scholar that you chose for this week! |
