Lucy: How to balance the utility of models with the overwhelming pressure of "you already should have read this?" Even though these methods were developed from activism, they RECEIVE these methods in the context of academia

@lauravarnam: Ask students upfront: who do they think the critics are? Who do they think YOU [the instructor] are? What do they think you do when you approach your own research?
