Hey class,
So last week a few of us got to talking about seminar and our class. Since we are taking a class on civic intelligence, shouldn't we practice civic intelligence in our own class structure? I propose we talk about this in class on Wednesday and what "incorporating civic intelligence" into our class structure means to us.
~ Maybe we could look at group norms to establish that would encourage more equal participation and foster a sense that every voice was equitably heard. I'll bring an example!
