  1. We are pretty much creating a bricolage with this blog. Our minds, imaginations, and backgrounds are the materials available to us. I am sure we are going to be discussing multiple,diverse resources, and we will all be approaching texts from different forms of research methodology. Here's to our "makeshift handiwork" in the works! :)
