Room 229 Thompson Hall Fear, Faith, Fraudulence and Fantasy: Election 2008
This participatory event is an exploration of images and ideas in the run-up to the election and beyond. The format derives from research on embedded group identities, and includes some small group work and experiential learning. Emily White, EdD is presenting and consulting to this event. emilywhitenyc@gmail.com Among the meanings and messages of this election year, we will consider:
• What aspects of our group interests, identities and anxieties are being represented, mobilized or polarized in the current political arena, and how?
• What clues or hypotheses can we develop, if any, about the changing currents and undercurrents in the notions of leadership, authority, power, freedom, and civic obligat ion in America's next phase?
