Interlude on Editing the Book (for those students who volunteered to help)

 Hello, everyone.


Some students from USF Quito have volunteered to help us review the submissions (in art and literature) from an Ecuadorian student in the United States, written in Spanish.  We are thrilled at this collaboration.

Here is what the students in Duluth are hoping for from the students in Quito:

1.  How would you evaluate the submissions technically?  Would you call the art well-executed?  Would you call the poetry well-written?  

2.  How well do the submissions fit the theme of "distance."  When you read or view them, do you feel emotions or experiences that evoke distance as a theme?

3.  Which would you publish in our book?  Consider each submission, one at a time.

3.  Most importantly, for the ones you would publish, what order would you publish them in?  Would you publish them together or would you publish one, then one by another author, so they don't appear side by side?  Or are they better if read side by side?  Would you put the picture side by side, or poem-picture-poem-picture?

Send me this feedback to dbeard @ d.umn.edu.  

We will credit you as editors in the acknowledgements of the book!

What is rural? What is urban? What is between?

  Use your favorite research tool to find a reputable and meaningful distinction between rural and urban areas.  Cite and summarize your understanding of those distinctions (100 words).   Then, using that definition, talk about the difference between urban and rural in your experience.  Sometimes, we have lived in both.  Sometimes, we have lived in one and visited the other.  And sometimes, we might think, we have lived or visited some third spaces (suburban? exurban? ) that are not quite either one.  If that has been your experience, too, let us know. (200 words) Finally, write about some dimensions of the urban-rural spectrum that you think might be left out in your researched definitions. (200 words)
