persuasion and policy
March 22, 2013 by Adam Haley
- “Things I Don’t Have to Think About Today” (John Scalzi)
- “What it’s like being a teen girl” (emma m. woolley)
- “The Good, Racist People” (Ta-Nehisi Coates)
- a piece we didn’t read but which does the personal -> policy move we’ve been talking about: “Luck and the Welfare State, and Jules” (Eric Hayot)
And a handful of policy/position papers worth looking at as models of how to overview the policy questions surrounding a given issue:

down with the Constitution, up with deliberation?
January 31, 2013 by Adam Haley
I’m hoping we’ll have a chance to discuss Louis Michael Seidman’s “Let’s Give Up on the Constitution” NYT op-ed at some point, because it’s really provocative and interesting—specifically in its implication that constitutional democracy is in some profound way inferior to deliberative democracy, which seems like a very relevant claim to the project of this course. Here‘s a short video of Seidman making another version of this case.

the many thises in which some “I” believes
January 9, 2013 by Adam Haley
In addition to NPR’s “This I Believe” hub, we might do well to look at their most-viewed “This I Believe” pieces, as well as at WPSU’s “This I Believe” series. And just for satirical good measure, here’s “A Rejected Submission to NPR’s ‘This I Believe,’” from McSweeney’s.

civic issues blog!
January 9, 2013 by Adam Haley
So that you have it handy, here’s the RCL hub site’s page on the new civic issues blog (replacing the much-beloved RCL blog, no doubt to much chagrin). We’ll discuss this more in class soon!
. . . and while you’re at it, you should probably all go like the RCL facebook page.
