This journal entry is on space and place.
Pick one of the following prompts: 1) Identify one or more spaces/places in your academic life. Write about how these space/places inform your intellectual and political orientation. How do these spaces inform how you think about your academic work (this can be in relation to your papers in this class, or your work in other classes)? How do your movements in these spaces interact with your research/ interpretations of texts (these texts can be from this class or from other classes)? 2) Identify one or more of your personal "home" spaces/places. Remember, this can be a physical space (like the queer family table that Sara Ahmed describes), or a metaphorical/spiritual space (like the body for Eli Clare). Write about how and why you consider this space/place your "home." How did it become home for you? What are the contradictions in this homeplace? What does feeling at home mean to you? [use these questions as a jumping point, but please remember that you do not have to answer or address all these questions-- they are simply meant to stir your thinking]
