Questions About Proposals

Conferences Next Week

We’ll have 15 minutes to talk together. I’ll have, maybe, a 3 or 4 minute response to your proposal. What else do you want to ask me about your project as you begin work on it? What other texts have you found to read or watch? How have you narrowed and define the sorts of field research (observation or memoir) that you hope to do?

I offer this trailer for the (I think, quite good) Hulu adaptation of Lindy West’s Shrill as a way of putting this question: We all know that fat-shaming is bad. So what else is Roxane Gay saying (or not)?

To Do

1. Mon, 10/14, or Wed, 10/16: Come to my office in 134 Memorial ready to make good use of your 15-minute conference with me. Bring any drafts, notes, books, or other materials you’s like to share.
2. Thurs, 10/17, 10:00 am: Post a text from your project that you feel will interest the other members of this class. Provide bibliographic info. Write a “teaser” summary that will entice other people in the room into reading or viewing it.
