Welcome - Day 1

Hello, students. A few first-day notes... If you are enrolled but do not show up on the first day of class, you will be dropped from the course. If you are officially on the waiting list, but do not show up, you will be unable to add the course. Wait-listed students will be added to the enrollment list manually, by the department. If you are not on the list as of the first day of class, it is unlikely that you will be added--sorry.

If you are enrolled (or expect to be enrolled) in the course, please bookmark this blog, asap. Then click the "Get Your Own Blog" button, in the top-right corner of this page. You will need to have your own blog set-up by the second class session (Thursday, September 1), so that you can post comments and questions on the Foucault, Mitchell, and Paul readings before class begins.

I recommend not using your full last name when you create your blog--but it's your choice. Either way, please email me with the URL (web address) of your blog, asap. I will create a "blog roll" on this page, so that you can view each other's blogs. If you've never created a blog or website, have no fear--it is easier than it may look and I am happy to help you with it, in office hours and during the 9/1 class session.
