This week I read Globalization Unmasked: Imperialism in the 21st Century by James Petras and Henry Veltmeyer and Postcolonial Theory: A Critical Introduction by Leela Gandhi. I found my reading went slow this week and had difficulty getting through Postcolonial Theory. I finally got my new computer so I was able to install Inspiration and do 2 concept maps! This next week, I plan to read at least two more books and perhaps download Endnotes.

New Blog New Post

Welcome to my new blog! This is my second attempt at creating a blog. I think I figured out why the last one didn't work. So I hope this one works out!

I will be using this blog to record my thinking during my Fielding experience. I will post conceptual maps to illustrate what I have learned from readings. I will post reflections on personal experiences that relate to my Fielding work and record weekly plans and accomplishments.

Accomplisments: To date I have written my Learning Plan and Knowledge Area contract for Structural Inequality and Diversity. My Learning Plan has been approved. I have read Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Friere.

Plans: I will install Inspiration and End Notes as soon as my new computer arrives.
