Life in the Age of Drone Warfare Discussion
Before each Tuesday class period, you will upload a 2-paragraph (6-8 sentences/paragraph) reflection to the discussion board connecting Tuesday’s readings with one or more reading from the previous week.
These are not meant to be summaries of the readings but opportunities for you to a) connect with the materials through your own ideas and experiences; b) develop critical reading practices; and c) practice synthesizing course readings and concepts. Questions you may address but are not limited to include:
How do readings and course concepts relate to your own experiences within and outside of the university, your communities, families, and peers? How can you make connections between readings/course concepts and contemporary political contexts? I ask that you provide specific passages and page numbers using appropriate citation practices (MLA, Chicago, APA).
