Hello, all -
For those of you who want to, please do coordinate a conversation or turn up in CCC on Thursday. It is not mandatory! But for those of you who want to discuss this very interesting article, perhaps the following can guide you:
How do the authors define “thick solidarity”?
(in particular, check out definitions offered on page 190 and page 196)
What do they mean by “thin empathy”? What are the consequences of such?
The authors mention the 1955 Bandung Conference. Do you know about this? Look it up, along with the Non-Aligned Movement!
Maybe it would be worthwhile to return together of our discussion this week about gaps (of understanding, or meaning, etc.) between generations -- and the consequences of such gaps. Is there evidence of such gaps in this article?
I want you to use this piece to think more globally about intersecting histories and to think about what motivates people to care.
Have a great rest of your week!
(PS - I have posted updated guidelines for final projects on the moodle site!! Check them out!)
