Great news! Steve Kershnar, Associate Professor of Philosophy at SUNY Fredonia, has agreed to do a guest appearance on the Friday of the science mini-unit (i.e., the first Friday after we get back from break). He's going to argue against social constructionist theories of race based on recent developments in the field of genetics. Please see the email from him I forwarded to the listserv today for background....

Hey all, I've added the link to the theories and histories unit--I encourage you to check it out!
2/12/05
Hey all, I've updated the syllabus for the opening of the "experiences and institutions" unit, giving us a chance during the first week to revisit chapters of Du Bois's Dusk of Dawn many of you missed because the books came late to the bookstore, and rearranging the readings for the second week (on the U.S. census's approach to counting and classifying people and issues stemming from it) to free up discussion space on Friday 3/11 for Professor Nancy Boynton of the Mathematics Department here at SUNY Fredonia to meet with us. So please take a look at the reading assignments for those two weeks, update any older syllabi you have printed off, and adjust your work schedule accordingly. Thanks.

Hey all, I've updated the reflective essays page and the links page, the latter in a fairly significant way, this past weekend and today. Check them out when you get a chance.

Hey all, I have to change my office hours for today due to a candidate visit and a doctor's appointment for my daughter: 10-12 only. I'll be adding extra office hours on Thursday to make it easier for people to meet with me this week: 1-5.

Hey all, the long-awaited assignment sheet for the Identification Project is finally up and running. Now that it is, I've modified the main page to give more of an overview of the project in Section VI of the syllabus.
