Spencer Fellowship Updates

• First week of classes! I’m taking “Evidence and Inference” (required for all Spencer Fellows, as well as all J-School MA students). And I’m sitting in on “Opinion Writing.” The professor for the latter, Jelani Cobb, couldn’t make it to class, so he sent his friend Ta-Nehisi Coates to substitute. Holy shit! (I did not take notes during class, but I later wrote up some of my thoughts on the advice he gave. Posted above)

Reading and Viewing
