Diaspora Dialogs [.com]

It’s a year since we started Diaspora Dialogs. Initially it was started in a hurry, added on to my other two websites http://www.petrinearcher.com and http://www.negrophilia.com.jm. This year it has become the most dynamic of my sites mainly because I have used it for teaching. Its blog has become an integral part of my courses and students have responded enthusiastically having thoughtful and provocative weekly conversations. Thank you, everyone!

In Diaspora Dialogs’ second year I want to introduce a handful of changes including a redesigned front page, new blogging features and an arts directory. I also want Diaspora Dialogs to become the portal for my Caribbean Dialogs distance teaching. Some of these are already underway, but in the New Year, look for more design changes and dynamic blog features such as audio slide podcasts and videos. Here’s wishing all Diaspora Dialogs’ students, artists and blog visitors best wishes for the Season and a Happy New Year!
