Rodney,
Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it very much.
I wonder if there are any more details available for the case study, like
maximum word length and a minimum works cited? I am finalizing my outline
and I know that these are questions my students will ask.
And Enzo Colombo, I love your outline and my students will be reading a
number of your readings around cultural diversity and human rights. Thank
you so much for sharing.
