proposal to start our discussion this summer
Hello, everyone!
I was pretty crap about fostering discussion in here back in the spring, and i apologize for that. Post-Wiscon i've been a little more energized, so let's roll with it!
There seemed to be consensus to try the 10-week class discussion available from FedUp! (links below), so let's try kicking off the conversation with that material. I'm going to propose that we have a 1-week window of time for reading each packet of material, and then a 1-week window of time for discussion. That means we'll have 2 weeks for each packet, which will bring us to early november. How does everyone feel about that? It would look like the following.
discussion schedule::
* week 1:
- start reading 6/28
- start discussing 7/5
* week 2:
- start reading 7/12
- start discussing 7/19
And so forth.
reading material::
The readings are available as PDFs from the FedUp! website (listed as "primary" below). In case that webpage ever goes down, i've made a copy of the webpage itself in my Evernote (listed as "back-up" below), altho' the Evernote copy does not include the PDFs -- contact me to get those if you can't access the FedUp! website. Also, let me know if PDFs aren't a good format for you and i'll try to put them into something you can work with.
* primary: "The Class Class - A steel city study-discussion group about Classism"
* back-up: Copy of the above website at my Evernote (Contact me to get PDFs.)
