My dear friend Nancy is a Political Science professor at DU.
Last semester she taught a Freshman 
Coverorientation class.
She best describes the unfolding of the project this way:
"An easy refrain around DU is that we are not
a very diverse campus. But with each new
week in this First-Year Seminar we found
out how untrue this was, even within a
group that might have appeared on the
surface to be fairly homogeneous. The
memoirs we read by experienced authors
awakened us to the complexities of social
location, historical legacy, privilege, and
power. Then, as students began applying
the theoretical tools of the course to
reflect on their own autobiographies, our
conversations deepened appreciably."
