Instructor Consent Required. This is the first course of a two-semester sequence.
To Apply: please fill out this online application and the instructor will contact you in 1-3 business days to schedule a 30-60 minute informal meeting (via Zoom or in person) prior to course registration. This 1:1 allows for the teaching team to understand your learning goals, co-curate possible topics for the fall semester as we believe power sharing and knowledge are reciprocal, and for us to begin to connect with each other before class starts as community building is vital and central to the course ethics.
Application Deadline: For priority consideration, submit application by August 1st or prior to the first class of fall semester but there is no firm deadline.
For further questions, comments, etc, please email the instructor at michelle.ramirez@austin.utexas.edu.
