September 15, 2004Don't Think of an Elephant: Blogging Lakoff's classFirst, Lakoff's new book Don't Think of an Elephant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate--The Essential Guide for Progressives was just released today on Amazon. It's co-authored with Howard Dean and Don Hazen. Second, since so many people have been curious about Lakoff's class, i decided to create a blog that would document the class. I've added the class notes that Mary and i have written as well as the additional documents that we've read for the class. This should be a great way for folks to follow along in the class, or at least partially. Category: politics

Cool! I'll be interested in following along. Could we get an atom feed for that blog, though? There doesn't seem to be one.

Great! thanks...
Hey, a new metric for universities... CourseRank, a la Google's PageRank. How many students blog the class, and how many other blogs point to the student's blogs, etc, etc...

Thanks for doing this, danah. I've read Moral Politics, and most of Lakoff's stuff over at the Rockridge Institute website, but the chance to learn more is great. And it's been really interesting getting to read the articles mentioned in class. Thanks!

Blogged. (TrackBack suX0rs)
You said before that you weren't sure whether you should blog the class, given that somebody else owns the materials... what made you change your mind?

Atom fixed! Sorry about that.
What made me change my mind: i asked Lakoff for permission; he said yes. We got into a long conversation about digital technology and distribution of ideas. He very much approves of blogs and thinks that they're a great way to distribute knowledge.
[PS: i have a vested interest in people blogging classes and other academic things, so if you're doing this kind of project, let me know!]
