Week 3: Keywords and Assignments

Identity
Citizenship
Globalization
Home
Diaspora

We will have five keywords this week instead of four, in part because they are so intricately tied that we cannot read “home” without “diaspora,” for example. Please read them in this order and make sure you have finished reading and thinking through all keywords by Wednesday. Additionally, please read “Run! Hide! The Illegal Border Crossing Experience” from the New York Times. We will begin discussing it in class tomorrow. Notice that we are seemingly moving away from the “technology” focus, but the operative word there is “seemingly.” In conjunction with our keywords for this week, we will be relying on others we have already discussed, such as “virtual.” Your posts will also be different this week, but stay tuned for more on that. Finally, I will finish posting comments and grades for last week’s posts by this evening.
