Much to my chagrin, we cannot read everything. As promised, here are the changes I'd like to make to our reading schedule, allowing us to finish the discussions we need to finish in this unit on "Archiving for Social, Critical, & Feminist Consciousness." Please do make these changes in your schedules or on your syllabi:
- T Mar 7 - Steedman ch 6 "What a Rag Rug Means" and Davy "Cultural Memory and the Lesbian Archive"; please also have Kirsch "Feminist Research" at the ready, as we will likely put Steedman and Davy into conversation with the latter pages of her chapter
- Th Mar 23 - Eubanks "Mississippi on My Mind" and Ramirez "Being Assumed Not to Be"
- T Mar 28 - unchanged
- T Apr 18 - unchanged
Sadly, I am omitting Punzalan "Archival Diasporas" from our discussion schedule, but I highly recommend this as a source for most of your critical research projects. It pairs well with Finnegan and Hesford from earlier in the term, and most of what we have been discussing these past few weeks.
With thanks and see you on Thursday,
-Dr. Graban
