Collaborations with students

• UNBOUND This is an online newsmagazine originally conceived in my Spring , 1996 magazine writing class. We created unbound as a way of exploring what it means to do journalism online. Originally, I served as the magazine's publisher, helping to plan issues, edit articles, recruit writers, and develop the business and technical infrastructure for the magazine. By 2001, we had developed our own style guide, operations manual and had initiated community ourteach program we ambitiously called the UNBOUND Institute. The Institute used online journalism training as the based for an academic enrichment program for pre-college students. We argued that our approach would prepare promising students to entire those segments of the industry that were poised for growth -- particularly in the areas of science and financial reporting. We ran a successful pilot program in the summer of 2001, but the program was ultimately a casualty of the post-9/11 recession. In 2002, unbound became a student organization. The magazine is now in the process of a technical and esthetic redesign that will likely be accompanied by a move to a server with full database capabilities -- something we don't have now.

This project was executed during the 2003-4 academic year for the Association for the Study of the African American Life and History (ASALH) The Archive contains primary and secondary documents related to the Brown decisions, their precedents and their implications, as well as links to commemorative press coverage, exhibits and events around the world.
