"Three Wishes"

Since we didn't get any class-time to talk about Three Wishes, feel free to post some comments or discussion in response to this posting.

A few updates...

1) The most recently assigned group activity - "Something to Talk About" - is now on Steve's assignment page.

2) A note about "praxis" and the group presentations: With one and perhaps two exceptions, praxis (even though you may not have known the word) was the missing key element in most presentations. Keep that in mind as we move forward.

3) If you haven't received a presentation mark in your email inbox, that's because you weren't in class last week on Wednesday to give me you email address. If that's the case, email me in the next few days (only email me from your York address if you check it regularly - I'd prefer an address for an account that you use every day, rather than once a week) and I'll send it back to you.

4) If anyone did answer the reading questions for the Marx & Engels, Gramsci, and Althusser readings and would like to discuss their answers or the problems they encountered in answering them, feel free to post a comment in response to this message.

Open Discussion Thread

As promised, the comment thread for this post is open for anyone to ask a question relating to tutorial conversations or any of our course readings.
