Chatboard Group Discussion
We’ll start our discussion of this week’s reading, Laura Stokes’ Demons of Urban Reform, on the chatboard. Below is a list of chatboard discussion leaders for this week. If you are signed up, please post 1-2 questions in your group’s channel. These questions can ask about your group’s thoughts regarding the whole book or specific aspects of it, relate to sources or specific arguments, highlight themes… it is up to you! Just make sure they are open ended (not questions that would elicit a yes/no answer) as the idea is to get your group chatting with one another.
Questions should be posted by Monday evening. For the rest of the group members, please respond before class on Thursday.
