Welcome to IFS: Music, Identity, and Global Citizenship

Who are you? How did you get here? In what ways do you identify your music? And how do you identify yourself through music?

As an Intensive Freshman Seminar we will be using our many cross-cultural case studies as a springboard for further discussion on local, national, and global issues. At the heart of these discussions, however, will be investigating the role of expressive culture in articulating myriad identity formations.

Tip for writing really great blog posts!

You all are doing a great job on your blogs.

However, I think that you would benefit a great deal by looking at the work of your colleagues. If you are having difficulty figuring out what is expected of you, how to write a good post, or otherwise answer the questions of the assignment, it would be very beneficial to look over the blogs of your classmates. You all have some very interesting ideas and experiences. And you all bring them into your writing. We can learn from each other by collaboratively looking at each other's work.

 I set up the course mother blog for this very purpose. That way, you have access to all of the blogs of your classmates, and can freely access them, hopefully inspiring dialogue and collaboration among you as a class.
