Announcements

Please fill out D&T Intake Form (NYU sign-in required) if you haven’t already. Thanks so much.
Upcoming dates to note:
- Wednesday, 9/21: Your research writing will begin! I’ll create a Google doc for each person in class, and add links to article templates. This will be the doc you work in for the rest of the semester.
- Next Monday, 9/26: class will be on Zoom (Prof will be in Baltimore for work). A Zoom link will go out by Sunday 9/25.
- Wednesday, 10/5: Manhattan Field Trip
- Wednesday 10/19: Brooklyn Borough Hall field trip
Because I’m receiving an unusually high number of absence and lateness emails, I created a standard response for absences/latenesses. Please take note.

Agenda

Follow-ups from Session 3:
- The social construction of race: Nell Irvin Painter’s The History of Whiteness
  - Why Washington Post capitalizes “White”
  - NBC News Essay by Nell Irvin Painter
- NYU Libraries Bookmarklet or NYU VPN
- Independent and dependent variables (USC. Also Simply Psychology has useful activities on this topic)
Checking in on assignments due today. If you’re on Zoom, be sure to participate now so you don’t lose participation points during today’s walk.
- Google slide due today (NYU login required).
- Walking Tour spreadsheet
Today we will walk to the Wunsch Building again, and then along purported Underground Railroad tunnels to 227 Duffield Street, which is finally a historic landmark. You’ll be walking in randomly selected groups of 3 and discussing your Google slide, then combining into a group of 6 like before, then chatting with me after we reach 227 Duffield Street. I’ll ask each group of 6 to report back their findings. Be sure to discuss:
- Were there any surprises in the APA readings?
- Which DEI style guide did you select, and why?

Last assignment without a major writing requirement! Starting on Wednesday, you’ll be required to write at a pace of about 300 words per class.
