This is the place. We'll be using this blog throughout the semester - you'll be using it to post comments and answers to questions that come up in class as well as links to interesting sites and blog posts that you come across in your own work. The blog format allows us to use a slightly less formal writing style than a typical academic paper but still means that we have to use things like footnotes (properly formatted) and bibliographical citations when appropriate. Always include the source of photographs or links to your sources and captions whenever possible. You are encouraged to read and comment on each other's posts as well. This is all part of participation in the class and is considered in grading your overall performance for the course.
I mentioned Gordon Parks in class and the previous post is a short clip in which he tells of his first meeting with Stryker and taking the famous picture. Click here to read the New York Times obituary for Parks.
Stay tuned, it's going to be an interesting semester!
