  • I am tring to fit social justice in this article. By Bobby Nelson. This is an excellent example of what to do when you're pondering a text and can't quite figure where it fits into the overall theoretical approach we've taken. ASK! I can usually point you in the right direction in just a couple of minutes. Either come in during office hours, or catch me at class. BUT then, be sure you take the time to tell me that you understand now, and to illustrate that by talking about it enough to let me conclude for myself that you've got it! Good work, Bobby.
