Introductions

Now that we are up and running. Two of you will be nominated to make the first posts for our blog. Those of you who don't post, should respond to the "discussion leaders" piece. These posts can consist of any number and types of items--be creative, but also be thoughtful. What would make for an interesting conversation? What ideas are you still struggling through from our in class discussions? How are our conversations speaking to "the real world" where politics and power intersect all around and through us?

Those of you who are not discussion leaders in a given week are responsible for responding to your peers' original posts. But, don't let this be a strict guideline: if you are not the featured blogger for the week, you should still post your questions, found news items, or links that you find interesting, compelling, or exciting.
