As we discuss critical and primary readings on media, democracy, and the public sphere, the class will undergo a process together. We will cultivate our own public sphere, setting rules and adjusting them as we go.

I love hearing from students, and I love helping my students succeed. I also love email, which is at least in theory an ownerless, anarchistic, open protocol that doesn't rely on any one company or entity to make it work. But often I find that students come to college in need of a few pointers on what an effective email looks like. text/html 2023-11-11T16:29:32-0500 Anonymous ([email protected]) https://www.lelandquarterly.com/school/disruptive_entrepreneurship?rev=1699738172&do=diff Disruptive Entrepreneurship MDST 2011 Disruption has become a hallowed achievement in contemporary business culture.

There is no one style of citation that is appropriate for every case. Rather than stipulate a particular citation style for all times and places, I encourage students to learn to determine for themselves what standards they should use in a given context. By the end of one's education, one should be familiar with a variety of citation techniques. text/html 2021-01-02T02:39:31-0500 Anonymous ([email protected]) https://www.lelandquarterly.com/school/communication_policy?rev=1609573171&do=diff Communication Policy Because of my unpredictable schedule, I do not keep regular office hours.
