Hi April! I agree with you as well as the response from Professor. More people are going to want to read your work if it is engaging and understood. I think these correlate to it being legible. The reader will not be able to keep interest so the idea of it not being accessible may not matter. I believe casual tone is a great way to minimize this…[Read more]

I like how you included that quote. It is important that we continue to build on the organizations already established in communities i…[Read more]
Hi Shannon,
I enjoyed reading your post! It helped open my mind to other distinctness of Lubar’s and Stommel’s work. You made a plausible point with public humanities not having information accessible and how it can limit ideas and new beliefs from developing. In addition to your thoughts on professors’ question what you think “avai…[Read more]
