update!

Hope everyone's having a terrific summer ... this is the one-month-to-first-class countdown:

• thanks to Lauren for calling Nigel Dower to our attention. He's an excellent resource for us and so ...

• go ahead and buy Nigel Dower's An Intro to Global Citizenship. It's a superb primary text for our venture. A first read before class begins would be advantageous. Dower's other two books World Ethics: The New Agenda and Global Citizenship: A Critical Reader are recommended but not required.

For the first day:

• bring your 100 images (local | tourist | emigrant). We’ll cruise thru them on-screen; if you set them up as a multipage pdf we can view them as a slideshow in Preview.

• bring a typeset, succinct and easy to read list of 10 possible project ideas; for each also note 2 references. We’ll pass these sheets around for peer review. All the miniprojects we'll work on during the first semester will be customizable to your individual interests.

Some folks have still not signed on to the blog. If anyone is in touch with Stephanie Albinski, Modesto Laboye Eliza, Laura Pepitone, or Mariah Toscano, give them a nudge.

Y'all were also asked to make at least one contributiion to the blog over the summer (suggesting a resource); only a few people have done this, so the rest of you don't hold back. Thanks for Dower, Watts, film recommendations, etc.

Lots of interesting stuff shaping up for Fall and Spring.
