🗳Just voted in the NY Primary and then read this important piece. It resonates. As a university faculty member, I experience democratic shared governance in my job. But schools are the last bastion of the democratic habit in daily life.
There’s a lot to think about how Facebook has subverted the democratic habit. Roberts Rules of Order supplanted by Group Administrators and emoji buttons. Stroking glass, scrolling miles of attention merchandising instead of the grueling work of resolving disputes.
⤵️Early-stage contemplation for course development on the existential crises and radical opportunities of 21st century democracy. Some books I’m considering for readings in thread below. Seeking input and further recommendations.
