(***) read Howard, prologue (xvi) - p. 142

IMPORTANT ROOM CHANGE: This class will be held in G-58 FLB (Foreign Languages Building). That's in the basement.

Special Guest: Philip Howard

Today's Question: Assess one of the following concepts in light of either Howard's own examples or other material from this semester: (1) epistemic heterarchy, (2) political redlining, (3) political culture. You might consider one or more of the questions: How does Howard define the concept? How is it used? Is it analytically useful? Does it depend on important assumptions that are not stated? Given what you know about communication technology, does the definition imply a causal relationship that you find credible?
