“…Members of these groups, in addition to the texts which the whole class is reading for the week, have specific readings assigned just to their group. Group C, for instance, reads texts across the semester about Canadians (Auger, 2003), lesbians (Bent & Magilvy, 2005) and gay men (Wilder, 1998), African Americans (Cleage, 1989), Zunis (Finke, Bowannie, & Kitzes, 2004), Asian-Indian Hindus (Desphande, Carrington Reid, and Arun, 2005), a European American male caregiver (Alexander, 2001), the elderly (Snyder, 2005), children (Graham, 2004), a young Latin American girl (Allende, 1989), and homicide survivors (Monk, Neylon, & Sinclair, 2003). Each group reads a similar mix.…”
