If you were absent for today's class, please be sure to get the notes from your classmates. Important themes include: what is a slum? the three most famous slums in the world (Kibera, Kenya; the favelas of Rio, Brazil; and Dharavi, India), and the ethics of slum travel.
Unfortunately we don't have time to watch the film Slumdog Millionaire, but I do recommend it for your free time. We watched a 5-minute segment to introduce ourselves to Dharavi, Mumbai.
There was a reading on slum tourism presented, and students are required to write a FORMAL paragraph on their feelings about this topic. Please click here to access the reading.
