Dear Students,
CUNY has determined that due to weather, we will be holding remote classes tomorrow, Tuesday, February 13. Rather than meet on zoom, I am asking that you view the documentary that we had planned to see in class on Thursday sometime before Thursday. Here is the information and the url.
“An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power” available through BC Library online. Login with BC Library credentials at Alexander Street Press: http://brooklyn.ezproxy.cuny.edu/login?url=https://brooklyn.ezproxy.cuny.edu/login?url=https://video.alexanderstreet.com/p/28D3qD7JP
On Thursday, we will cover what we originally had planned for tomorrow, including a quiz:
February 13 (T) – a brief history of the city’s development featuring the development of the working waterfront, deindustrialization, neoliberalism, and gentrification
(Reading Quiz 3 – student constructed – T’Neil and Kelly)
