Crunching the Core: Critical Moves
March 25, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
We will continue our collective exercises by crunching moves associated with critiquing expertise. We will meet on Zoom on Friday, March 25th at 10:00am-11:30am EST. We are thrilled that the conversation will be started by two great commentators, Zina Miller (Seton Hall) and Aziza Ahmed (UC Irvine), who will guide us through our move(s), before opening to a wider discussion among all attendees.
Discussion Questions: In preparing for the session, we ask that you consider the following questions:
- Based on the texts, what is the critical move?
- How has this critical move been used in different times, places and contexts?
- What does the move uncover?
