Blog Discussion #1

At this point in the semester, it is worthwhile to share your reactions to what you are learning about OTR. What issues in OTR do you find most intriguing to explore and why? As a class, what do we have to gain through our future inquiries into OTR? Who might directly benefit from our work in the neighborhood? Keep in mind that any of your responses to these questions are bound to be tentative and open to revision. Indeed, there remains a lot of learning to do. However, as a class, it is still good to do an inventory of our various perspectives in preparation for any class projects we decide to initiate in the future. Please post a 50-100 word comment. In addition to posting your own 50-100 word comment, we encourage you to post any additional comments you might have to what others in class might say.

Welcome!

This Class Blog is for NKU and Miami students in Designing/Writing for Social Change, a course being team-taught by professors Chris Wilkey, Tom Dutton, and Alice Skirtz during the Fall, 2013 semester. Throughout the semester, we will ask students to post informal writings to prompts onto this Class Blog. The prompts are designed to spark discussion among students, and student responses will often be used to coordinate class discussion for upcoming class meetings. In addition, students are encouraged to post any material that is relevant to the course that they wish to share with their classmates.
