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)
- The social construction of race: Nell Irvin Painter’s The History of Whiteness
- 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?
Assignment, due 9/21
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.
