Hello Citizens!
I’m putting the call out for some thoughtful and dedicated students to enroll in this very special and timely class I am teaching in the fall. The class is structured as a durational, creative, critical engagement with governmental and institutional forms of democratic initiatives, including those in our immediate surroundings. The course load for Technicolor Electorate will be split fairly evenly between collaboratively designed research and exploration, public programming around democratic participation, and creative media projects, culminating in a public exhibition through ACRE TV. The class is listed in the FVNMA department, but I would be thrilled to have students from a diversity of disciplines. Students who are interested, but may not meet the departmental prerequisites should contact me at lathamowen@gmail.com to get a permission number for registration.
