Fall 2017 Unit IV - The Modern Invisible (wo)Man

Through our candid discourse, we have interrogated the (wo)Men of this unit as well as their "unspoken" or perhaps "invisible" roles in racial theories and discourses of today. We've gone from discussing "felon," to acknowledging the humanity in these individuals.  We've also unpacked upcoming black superheroes and their Afrocentricity in the upcoming film, Black Panther.  Finally, we're ending our dialogue with recognizing the three Black Queer women who founded the BLM organization.  Perhaps they've made us aware of perspectives that we likely hadn't previously considered.  While I'm still interested in what has resonated with you the most, I'd also like to know how has this Unit enlightened you?  Has it changed you?  Do you see progression for these invisible wo(Men)?  Please share.  And, thank you for a thought provoking semester.  It has truly been a pleasure!

Due: Thurs., 11/30/17 by 9pm.
