Tuesday, 21 October – Raising our Consciousness: What is Feminism?
DUE ASS. #2: feminist event project elements & logbook 2

Everyone will say something today! Everyone should be in class today, working with their group, and talking about the experiences that coalesce around this set of projects. Prepare with your group at the beginning of class so that your group’s presentation will allow everyone to be introduced and talk about feminist process and CR, and discuss how definitions of feminism entail collective action. See the Assignment TAB 2:Event for specifics for preparation!

event group presentations -- these take place during our Tuesday seminar -- Be sure you are there -- it's part of the assignment!  bring your flyer to share around. 

Everyone must say something, so as soon as you get to class, get together with your group and plan what each person will say. Each person should be detailed but brief! Try to say something new, and not just repeat what others have said: something special from your very particular viewpoint and experience of the processes involved!  

HOORAY! WE GET TO SEE THE FRUITS OF YOUR HARD WORK AND THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION OF PROCESS! feminism in its collective aspects and processes is the heart of this assignment. 

• First everyone in turn will introduce themselves to the whole class. Tell us both your first and last name, slowly and clearly. 
• Someone will read the group's definition of feminism.
• Someone will describe the event the group came up with. 
• Someone will describe the flyer and its design. 
• Someone will characterize who the flyer and event is directed to, their audiences and distribution.
• One or more people will describe some relationships between the definition and the event. 
• One or more people will talk about the group process, esp. how work was divided and how disputes were resolved.
• One or more people will discuss how the process of the assignment helps us consider what is feminism and how feminist process involves engaging in reflection and action.
