For today's class, you need to bring an example of something from your discipline that engages an idea or theme from our class (e.g., a scene from West Side Story, Chicano mural painting, K-Pop breakdancing, propaganda poster). You must have an object for display. A printed page with a description will do. A computer screen with a short clip is acceptable. We'll spend 30 minutes circulating around the room to see the contributions and then discuss.
