Due Tuesday 9/22:
- Phase 1, Blog Post #5: Please write about
  1. The three reports above (Mercer, World Economic Forum, Gates): were there any surprises in the results? Do you notice any hidden biases on the part of the authors?
  2. New strategies, based on today’s reading and discussions, that you might employ to address microaggressions in the future, as a target and/or as a witness/ally.
- Required Reading: Read or listen to Chapter 7 of Medical Apartheid by medical ethicist Harriet Washington. This chapter takes a deep dive into the specifics of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. It astounded me to the point that I had to listen to it several times. While you read/listen, make note of the technologies discussed or mentioned.
  - Option 1: Read through Bobst or Course Reserves
  - Option 2: Listen to Chapter 7.1 and 7.2 (chapter ends halfway through the second recording)
  - If you’re interested in the entire e-book (EPUB format), let me know.
