Dear all,
It has been a pleasure to share thoughts and reflections with you in the blogosphere. This blog will stay up for as long as we prefer, and you are free to continue posting on it and/or referring to it. I hope that this course has functioned for you in several ways: 1) as a mechanism for raising our collective awareness regarding some of the most pressing political, economic, social, and cultural phenomena currently transpiring on the US-Mexico border; 2) as a survey of fascinating, controversial, innovative, creative, and virtuosic artworks across several genres that have addressed themes of the "borderlands;" 3) and, finally, as a place where we can converse and engage in dialogue about these controversial and traumatic issues without collapsing into polemicism and partisanship. I think that you have been excellent leaders and participants in all of these respects, and I thank you for this cross-border journey. I hope that your final projects move beyond the classroom and that you can also find a way to return to some of these art pieces and border themes in your future work. Have a great spring break!
Best,
KZ
