Objectives: 22 January

Today's class:
  1. Remember that language is all about power--who has access to it, who can claim it, and who can use it to determine identity. This is why you must think carefully about the words you say and their meanings (both connotative and denotative). "A fool's mouth is his destruction" (Proverbs 18:7).
  2. Discussion of chapters 7 and 9--particular focus on gender.
  3. Revisit questions raised; I'll check your progress.
