essaying racism
My students and I have been experimenting with Twitter essays and then using TweetDeck to create a collection. The following essay, then, was written with what Heer calls a “commitment to real time thinking.” It provides a snapshot into my ideas as they evolved. With more thought and reflection, I would probably refine these ideas, but they feel worth sharing even in their provisional state. And I certainly welcome questions or concerns or disagreements.
Check out the Frye article I reference if you are so inclined. It’s juicy. As is this one by James Baldwin. We read them together for the course.
