Task Clusters

During winter quarter 2012 students will form into teams based on a "task cluster," several possible clusters are listed below. When the teams are formed, they will need to decide what activities are most appropriate towards developing a project. These activities can be chosen from the current list of tasks that includes tasks that John and Doug have added as well as those added by students.

This preliminary list of possible clusters was developed by faculty and students. (And, of course, it can be added to!)

• e-Liberate
• CIRAL vs Homelessness
• ICT (Information and Communication Technology) Development
• Theory
• Education
• Economic injustice / Occupy Movement
