We went on a self-propelled walking tour of Harlem, partially informed by our reading of Stoller's Sensuous Scholarship (1997). After meeting at the train station at Frederick Douglass and 125th, we walked east down 125th, south on Malcolm X, west on 116th back to Frederick Douglass. Along the walk, we stopped at different points to note observations, make connections, choose wigs, and walk through the Malcolm Shabazz Harlem Market. After the walk, we discussed the experience at a coffee shop. How do you walk differently in different places? We started planning a curriculum walk in Harlem. What would be our stops? What would be important methods of documentation? Like any walk, we don't know exactly what we will find on the curriculum walk. We might hear about the use of soft cheese in idiosyncratic breakfasts or find a hidden lumber supplier in Harlem.
