Week Two Course Blog Project Throughout this course you will read scholarly work on questions of diversity, exclusion and inclusion. You will write a weekly blog reflecting upon those issues, but rather than offering an unsubstantiated opinion on these matters, you’ll be expected to offer a unique but informed opinion supported by scholarly research and empirical evidence. You will have freedom to choose the topic and the particular angle of the issue as you wish to explore it, but there are some clear parameters you’ll need to follow. Each blog entry must have: Minimum 500 words (15% penalty for falling short of the word count) 1 citation from academic source materials read that week in class. This must be cited with a page number and author. Sources may not be reused week-to-week. 1 citation of an academic source (a relevant peer-reviewed article) from outside of class. Hint: Wikipedia is not an academic source. Sources may not be reused week-to-week. 1 citation of a news media article relevant to the topic. At least 1 audio or visual element that adds substantial content to support your argument. This could be a link to a video, pictures, etc. Required Readings Sojourner Truth–Ain’t I a Woman – Aint I a Woman Aint I a Woman – Alternative Formats – PDF (52 KB) Speech Entitled “Ain’t I a Woman?” by Sojourner Truth Delivered at the 1851 Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio Well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. I think that ‘twixt the Negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what’s all this here talking about? That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place! And ain’t I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain’t I a woman? I could work as much and eat as much as a man – when I could get it – and bear the lash as well! And ain’t I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain’t I a woman? Then they talk about this thing in the head; what’s this they call it? [member of audience whispers, “intellect”] That’s it, honey. What’s that got to do with women’s rights or Negroes’ rights? If my cup won’t hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn’t you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full? Then that little man in black there, he says women can’t have as much rights as men, ‘cause Christ wasn’t a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him. If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it. The men better let them. Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain’t got nothing more to say Phillips-Anderson–Reflection on Sojourner Truth – On Sojourner Truth On Sojourner Truth – Alternative Formats – PDF (250 KB) Simone de Beauvoir–The Second Sex (Introduction) – The Second Sex _Introduction The Second Sex _Introduction – Alternative Formats – PDF (208 KB) Frantz Fanon–National Culture – National Culture National Culture – Alternative Formats – PDF (145 KB) Max Weber–The Spirit of Capitalism – The Spirit of Capitalism The Spirit of Capitalism – Alternative Formats – PDF (147 KB) Recommended Readings Rothenberg, P.
