Problem: We are doing a lot interesting readings and discussions this week. Instead of asking you to write something academic, feel free to use this space to discuss or reflect on anything and everything. How are you? How are you doing? Is there any way that we, as a class, or me, in the capacity of your instructor, can facilitate your learning and create an environment that is safe and conducive to not just academic and intellectual thought, but solidarity and a sense of belonging? Let this post also be a reminder that you are intelligent, capable, worthy, and loved.
