dear all,
I sent each one of you a personalized email with an update on how you’re doing in this class, what assignments you are missing, and any other pressing issues. This email went to your BMCC email address. Please be sure to check it and let me know if you have any questions.
AND, if you have not yet signed up to meet with me, please do so right away. I added some more times. You can find the schedule here
See you tomorrow at 2pm!
You will see that on the right column of the site, there is now a category that says “Authors.” (See image below.)
If you click on the drop-down menu, you will see a list of your names. If you click on any author, you will then see a list of all of the posts written by the person. This is a way to get to all your writing in one place.
Thanks to Melody for sharing that this would be helpful! I hope everyone can feel free to ask or let me know about things that would make the site more workable for you.
Next week is Spring Break! We do not have class.
Module 8 is up + I will also be sending some personalized emails to you over the next week about your assignments. If you have not sent me your proposal, please do so as soon as possible.

You will receive an email from me in the next week to let you know what assignments you are missing and any other important information about class expectations. Please keep an eye out for this email! You are also welcome to set up a time to talk with me about assignments or any other issues related to our class.
We talked for a minute today about zines, a form of self-publishing that has been used by many feminist/cultural movements to circulate ideas, art, information. Barnard College has a digital collection of zines that you may want to explore, here
You may want to consider making a zine for your final project!
BMCC’s Library is hosting a free zine-making workshop on Monday from 3-4:30pm. More information here
Annabeth shared information about the NYC Feminist Zine Fest
Alex told us about a new movie, Moxie, that centers around an anonymous zine– I’m planning to watch it! If you do, too, we can talk about it.
hi all! I hope reviewing the assignment today was helpful. We will take it one step at a time. If you want to look at the instructions, you can find them on the Final Project page under “Assignments” on our Open Lab site here.
These are the three things to do as soon as possible.
We will talk more about the final project in class today– but in the meantime, please DO sign up for a meeting with me. The meeting is required and will be a chance for us to talk 1:1 about your work.
Everyone needs to meet with me by April 13 so make sure to sign up TODAY so you get a slot before the deadline!

Write a short proposal (~2-3 paragraphs) in which you state:
