Macaulay Honors College Seminar 2, IDC 3001H
There is no new reading assignment for Wednesday. We will discuss Chapter 3 in Foner and Jake will spend some time with the class as well. Please let me know if you have any questions about he neighborhood visit assignment.
DR
I am now posting a more detailed assignment sheet for the neighborhood visit and will email you each individually to tell you which neighborhood and immigrant group your team will investigate. Please read the assignment sheet carefully.
There is no additional reading assignment for Monday. We will continue discussing Foner, Chapter 2 and 3.
DR
In addition to reading Chapter 3 in Foner, please read this short New York Times article about undocumented immigrants in the USA. It answers several questions that have come up from time-to-time this semester already. We will discuss in class on Wednesday.
I attach three documents here:
Thanks,
Prof. Rosenberg
It appears that the links that I provided in my comment to Belinda’s post on Food on the blog contained some nasty virus or malware. You can read Belinda’s post but don’t click through to the comments! In the meantime, I have deleted the links. In any case, we will talk about immigrant food in American culture in class on Wednesday.
Thanks,
Prof. Rosenberg
We will discuss the question sheet on Foner, Chapter 1 that I already uploaded here. Please note that the sheet contains a mistake (it says that the questions are “for Wednesday, Feb. 29”). In fact, the assignment was for last Wednesday, Feb. 8, but is now for Wednesday, Feb. 15.
Thanks.

Please read pages 1-35 in “From Ellis Island to JFK” by Nancy Foner. I attach a question sheet. Since we barely began discussing Chapters 2 and 3 in Binder and Reimers on Monday, we probably will not get too far into the Foner material on Wednesday.
Also, please think about the following question and be ready to discuss it in class on Wednesday:
We often hear people say, “Only in America!” in response to certain events or phenomena. What does the phrase “Only in America” mean to you? What are some examples of of situations in which someone might say it? (Let’s try to answer this question without reference to the recent presidential election).
Please read Chapters 2 and 3 in the Binder and Reimers book. Please think about the questions in the attached sheet.
We will begin blogging next week.
Hello:
I am your professor for Seminar 2, The People of New York, in the Macaulay IDC series.
Our first class will be on Monday, January 30 at 10:45am in Room 9-180 of the Vertical Campus.
I attach a copy of the syllabus for the course. There is no reading assignment for the first day, but you should arrange to get copies (or access to an ebook) of the first two books listed on the syllabus by next week.
I really look forward to meeting you on Monday.
Prof. Rosenberg
