Mon 3/6 – Workshop on Japanese Internment
by admin - March 17th, 2012
Monday’s class has light reading but will be a hands-on workshop with some sources and materials for understanding the internment of Americans of Japanese descent during World War II. That internment included both born-citizens and immigrants who were legally unnaturalizable. Please read the brief essay by David Goldstein-Shirley, and bring your laptops to class to use in group work.

We also have more soapboxes than usual, and I probably won’t let the class discussion on them go quite as long as on past Mondays, just in the interest of time, so soapbox speakers should plan for about 5 minutes including discussion.
