Right off the bat, I have already lied to you. The title of this post says that I took “a little walk” to the High Line. And right off the bat, I have failed in properly being an ethnographer due to this lack of retelling with accuracy. The truth is that it was not a […]
As I stand on the High Line, I look around. Wind blows throughout the area, the cold breeze like a knife scraping across the unprotected parts of my skin, namely my hands and face, since I don’t own a ski mask and I neglected to wear gloves. On my right side, I see a rather […]
It is February 10, 2016 at 2pm. I set off toward the Highline with Melissa, Jannat, and Batsheva, bracing myself against the bitter wind blowing through four layers of clothing.

You do not have to create a formal presentation but you can share a short video from your phone or pictures/ drawings/ paintings […]

On the first day of class, students surveyed the contents of each other’s bag and then wrote profiles based on what they found, so I thought Lifehacker’s “Featured Bag” series might be interesting to some of you.

update 2/16/16: The “Add Users” Widget in the sidebar is acting wonky so if you’re having trouble adding yourself to the site, The “Add Users” widget can only be located in a sidebar but this WordPress theme doesn’t have one. But! There’s another solution: tell your ITF the email address that is associated with your eportfolio account. (If […]
Click the widget in the sidebar and add the password found in the syllabus distributed on the first day of class on 2/3/2016. If you’re having trouble getting added, you can be added if you send an email to your ITF with the email address associated with your eportfolio account: acarrozza@gradcenter.cuny.edu. You can check which email address […]
