Thurs., Dec. 10: 11:25-12:05 (Taylor G)
[10 minutes discussion to start: any more feedback in particular for the last three presentations,
about Latinx, clothing sources/style, and/or the pay/treatment of student dining center workers?
Then, more generally: how might we carry all these projects forward?
With whom else might each of you share your work?
What else would you like to know-or-understand about your own particular “enlarged contact zone”?
What are you learning from your peers: how is this range of presentations expanding your sense of your contact zone?
A reminder that your last short posting is due by 5 p.m. tomorrow, reflecting on the
questions we just discussed about how you might carry your work forward,
plus what you learned from your peers during these presentations (just 1-2 paragraphs).
And now more!

12:10: split into sections for appreciations and regrets
(what are you grateful for--individually and/or the group?
also a space for expressing regrets, individually and group-wide)
toss the yarn to call on the next person
weaving environmental questions in earlier? (for example:
providing more context for the Black @ Bryn Mawr tour?)
12:30: college course evaluations
Thurs., Dec. 10: 7-8:30 pm (English House, Lecture Hall, with dessert)
