This part of the course should help you with these questions and give you experiences and options. Speakers on internship and work opportunities, visits to actual grassroots action projects in Detroit organized by African American churches, Latino community centers, and UM AmeriCorps, dialogues with RC grads and others who have started on social justice careers will be the focus. Your ideas for how to set this up and what you want to get out of it will be very welcome. This paper will be three to five pages long and will be passed to other students for written comments and questions. I will then read and give suggestions for a revised version, to be written as a final paper.
Revision is required after audience reaction.
An individual conference with me is required before or during rewrite. Each writing task will address the day's topic in some way. I will collect and comment on all writing, but will not grade it. Session 1 Introduction to the course Tues. Session 2 Thurs.
