WELCOME! 

This course is titled "digital diversity" and will examine an important area of contemporary culture -- the promise and practice of online forums in relation to US diversity (in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, ability, sexuality, etc.) Much of the course will look at how contemporary U.S. culture deals with diversity, in order for us to define key terms and create a shared pool of knowledge about diversity and the varieties of experiences of peoples in our society.

In this course we will work together to decide what the ground rules are for class discussions. In the first week, you will negotiate with each other a contract about learning, thinking and responding in this course. That contract will be posted to this web site as a promise and a goal we set for one another.
