For the next couple of weeks, we are going to focus on your experiences at your community engagement sites and how those experiences connect with what we've been debating in class.
This week, there will be time for each of you to share and process some of your experiences with the class. Thus, please come prepared with thoughts on the following questions:
1. What have you been doing? What interactions have you had with either the people running the organization and/or the people who the organization serves? (Think very concretely about this. Have you been filing papers? Folding clothes? Sending emails? Etc.)
2. How have your experiences and interactions made you feel?
3. What sort of questions about social justice have come up for you in these experiences?
Additionally, please read Ann Green's article, "Difficult Stories: Service-Learning, Race, Class, and Whiteness," which you'll find on blackboard.
