Paper One Rubric Posted!

The guidelines for Paper One have been posted on the Schedule, Readings, & Rubrics page. Please refer to this document when composing your first formal essay, due next Wednesday 2/22.


UPDATE


I recently received an email inquiry from a student asking me to clarify the prompt to the first paper. I responded with the enclosed message below. The recipient found this further explanation to be helpful, so I hope that you will too!

Importantly, I wish to encourage any further questions to be posted as a reply to this post. I will offer what feedback I can, yet others are invited to reply with their thoughts and comments as well. Remember, this space is a forum through which ideas can be expressed and explored... let us utilize it to the greatest capacity.

Reread the prompt I provided carefully. As Duncombe argues before
Hill's text, there are four chracteristics common to acts of cultural
resistance. I am saying that we should aruge for a fifth: space, both
intangible, such as mental, spiritual, ideological space; and
tangible, such as land, the commons, a building, a park, etc.

In your paper you need to argue that space is also an archetypal
characteristic of culturally resistive acts, using at least two
readings as support.

UPDATE #2


Below is an excerpt taken from the introduction to a student's paper. I thought I'd share.
When thinking of space, one may think of the black mass outside our planet's atmosphere. Space is usually seen as empty and useless, but it is actually the backbone to the beginning of unidentified elements waiting to be known and welcomed into existence.
