Short Description:
This session was designed for an International Studies senior seminar. The theme of the course was "create dangerously" after Edwidge Danticat's book by the same title. The course focused on Black scholars striving to create histories and stories of their people against the limitations of traditional archives and political repression. The central animating question of the course was, "how do we approach archives, library collections, and research through a Black feminist political and ethical framework?" This session was designed to help students identify the advantages and disadvantages of traditional paths for locating scholarly sources, including the potential pitfalls of citation chaining; to understand how citational practices are political and how power shapes which voices are amplified or erased in academic research; and to employ new strategies for finding and engaging with historically marginalized voices. You will find detailed notes in the notes section of my slides.

Short Description:
This session was designed as a hands-on introduction to Zotero. Prior to the session we asked students to download and install the standalone and Chrome connector (in Chrome or Firefox only), to create a Zotero account, and to verify their email. We also encouraged the students to watch Joelle's short Zotero tutorial. We began the session by making sure everyone had successfully completed all three parts before getting started with the hands-on component. The lesson plan below begins with the steps we asked students to take prior to the session as a just in case measure (skip if it isn't needed). You will find detailed notes in the notes section of my slides.
