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.

1. DUE ASAP: Proposal.Write a short proposal (~2-3 paragraphs) in which you state:
   • which form you will be working in (memoir or manifesto)
   • initial ideas about the themes or issues that you want to engage: what do you already know about and what do you want to explore? 
   • if you already know: what form will you work in (an essay, or something else?)
   •  You can write your proposal as a post on our course site and select “PROPOSAL” as your category. You can make it private. Either way, my feedback to you will be private. 
2. You can sign up for the one required meeting with me here
3. You can sign up for your class presentation here

 

 

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!

My suggestion is to look at your discussion board posts and/or Essay #1 and/or any notes you have taken in class and/or the readings/materials + ask yourself: what’s sparking your interest? What are you feeling excited or curious about? What do you want to say?

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

1. • • which form you will be working in (memoir or manifesto)
     • initial ideas about the themes or issues that you want to engage: what do you already know about and what do you want to explore? 
     • if you already know: what form will you work in (an essay, or something else?)
     • DUE DATE: TUESDAY MARCH 23. You can write your proposal as a post on our course site and select “PROPOSAL” as your category. You can make it private. Either way, my feedback to you will be private.

And, remember:

dear all: As many of you already know, over the past year there has been a steady increase in violence directed towards people of Asian descent in the U.S.  68% of these incidents have been acts of violence against Asian women, including the devastating murders that occurred in Atlanta on Tuesday (more information here)

BMCC is going to hold an Open Forum soon which will be a space to share and learn in community. In the meantime, the Counseling Center is holding two support spaces– details below. Please share with anyone who may be interested.
