When/How
You must be communicating every week (with both instructors and your fellow students). That means you would be on-line for several hours each week reading materials on various specified Web Pages, reading discussion threads, contributing to discussion threads in thoughtful ways, using e-mail communications, chat rooms, sending attachments and so on. (Several hours each week). The scholarly quality of your communication is being evaluated. Be thoughtful, be critical, be clear, be concise...
You must post your research proposal to date, in a colloquium-friendly form. (You book a time slot. Send your request to morton@uwindsor.ca ). For types of posting see example.
You must submit four formal critiques of presentations you review (i.e., those in the time slot you sign up for). (April 15th)

Week 2 Activities
Practice: A neutral article has been selected as a means to get people thinking, reading, and interacting on-line during this second week. The article deals with media in the context of postmodernity. Since media are important components of an on-line instructional format, it would be appropriate to get some media issues (philosophical, political, social, and so on) and research issues (epistemology, research design, topicality, and so on) "on the table" early. You can access the article from the Journal SIMILE using the link on the right.

The Reading:

To broaden the context to violence and gender you could try this additional article as well:
