Sara Ackerman Emails: Professor Zaloom: Your personal positions on OWS have begun to make conceptual progress in our

class difficult to sustain.


From: Sara E Ackerman <sea271@nyu.edu> Date: January 4, 2012 3:34:01 AM EST To: "Undergraduate students minoring, majoring or interested in SCA" <fas-sca-ugstudents@lists.nyu.edu> Cc: "Undergraduate students minoring, majoring or interested in SCA" <fas-sca-ugstudents@lists.nyu.edu> Subject: After I expressed dissatisfaction with Professor Zaloom's assignment, this is one of the ways she responded... Reply-To: Sara E Ackerman <sea271@nyu.edu> An email I received from Professor Zaloom in early November: --------------------------------------------------------Sara, Your personal positions on OWS have begun to make conceptual progress in our class difficult to sustain. I understand that you feel passionately. Now it is time for you to conduct your research and it is your responsibility as a researcher to understand how your own perspectives are shaping the kinds of knowledge you are able to produce. It is up to you to analyze the material you choose to incorporate in your ethnography. Next Wednesday we move forward to our class on ethnographic analysis and writing I would like to hear from you on those issues. I would also like for you to hold yourself to the class themes.
