Weeks 1-2 (Sep 10 – Sep 23).
Although identity is a complex and ever evolving experience, we are often asked to represent ourselves online, through writing and digital composition. Equity Unbound kicks off the conversation with a closer look at what is at stake in representing ourselves and sharing our work online. Join us in considering various points of identification as we start to build community and conversation.
We suggest several pathways to introduction through a range of activities. Please reflect on your introduction “process” — you can blog your thoughts about this experience and/or add your thoughts on Twitter using the #unboundeq hashtag.
The links to all of the Identity & Introductions (Weeks 1 & 2) activities are below — you can also find them under the Weeks/Themes menu above.
