No Class Today! I will be on Santa Rosa Island and away from email access, but I can return any messages on Monday.
Please print and review the readings for Learning Module 3 (Interrogating Research) and make you have listed to This American Life story (“Opposite of Tarzan”).
Develop a focus for your paper. Think of any questions raised for you by the novel and the supporting readings. Consider notions of integrity, ethics, and identity as they pertain to research and experimentation. Reflect on what the novel and the readings reveal to us about how we differentiate and define ourselves as humans in relation to other species. What alternative ways could we think about our role on the planet?
Be sure to review these additional resources for ideas as well:
