I want to let you all know that I will be out for our second class. I enjoyed our first class together and look forward to getting to know all of you over the next couple of weeks.
Welcome to the blog for EOL 199 Section IG5. This course introduces students to the different aspects of race relations in the United States by having students explore the histories, social contexts, and ideas that have shaped their experiences as racial and ethnic students.
Ground Rules

If offended by statements ask clarifying questions
Confidentiality (what is said in the room stays in the room)
Share air time, invite others to the conversation
Dont interrupt while others are speaking
Facial Ques - check in with each other
Try not to assume - ask questions
Employ use of profanity or racial slurs in a responsible manner
Andre and Jeff are working with the Program on Intergroup Relations here at the University of Illinois.
The Program on Intergroup Relations (PIR) facilitates dialogue among students from different social and cultural backgrounds. We provide students with a proactive educational experience that promotes the exploration of group identities and open discussion of social justice issues such as discrimination based on class, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, or disability.
PIR seeks to advance students' understanding of and respect for diversity and social justice issues and to augment students' skills in responding to intergroup differences and conflicts.

The wise Dominic Cobb will be sitting in for Andre this Monday, don't worry, he's a wealth of knowledge with a gentle approach.
