Your research work continues this week, and will be the primary focus of your writing work. We’ll be doing that against the backdrop of a conversation about office design that intersects with our larger discussions around inclusion and organizational culture.

See, all the work we’re doing individually overlaps with these other conversations–there’s a lot of thinking and writing around these issues, and we can learn from all of the pieces that we bump into.

So, first, please take a few minutes to read through this post about the conversation analogy we’ll be using: 

Rounding out the conversation

Then, move on to this week’s work.

Reading

• “The subtle sexism of your open office plan”
• “Readers respond: open offices are terrible for women” (both linked from Bb)
• your own sources as you locate, take notes, and get ready to write about them

Writing

• Complicating your Research–look through the folder of that name in Helpful Links on Blackboard, and then head to the Unit 2 dropboxes for instructions (due Wednesday)
• Rounding out the Conversation (detailed in the Unit 2 dropbox) (due Sunday)
• Complete this week’s discussion work on the blog (due Thursday). See this post for prompts:
