Plan for remote class on Tuesday, February 13
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)
