M/W/F For Friday

Hello all,

First, thanks so much for an awesome class. I really felt like we "created some knowledge." The connections you all made among the Vogler stages, Kafka reading, and our culture were amazing. I liked that you could see the blindness that we have sometimes when we don't want to look at something outside our acceptance level.

Some powerful observations that could be developed into scholarly inquiries are:
Andrew-Global Warming as the Giant Cockroach in the Room: A study of Human Inability to "see" effects on the world
Brooke-The Two Cockroaches of the Apocalypse: Genocide and the Holocaust Issues
Lincoln-The Cockroach that Roared: Aparthaid as Vocal Challenge
Emily-Cockroaches and Research: A Study of Why College Students are Blind to Research and Writing
Max-Uncle Cockroach Wants You: Racism, Genderism, and Sexism as the Three Pillars of American Ignorance
Kristy-Can you spare a dime: The Homeless as Cockroach

I feel like we have an entire conference of cockroachery here....Excellent work, Scholars.

We also discussed the 1950s and integration of schools. We watched two interviews from students during this time. We discussed the validity of their information as sources for research. This brought us to examining why do we do research. As mentioned before, research is just "talking with our scholarly buddies." So get into the conversation.

For Monday...
