This space is for adding ideas for the 2019 Sociotechnocanonicon.


Format

  • Kaylea liked the jitsi format and participation from non-cdsc
  • Would it be feasible to offer reading credit for it? Or would that ruin it?
  • Credit would be easy to offer. People that need/want credit can take it for credits. Folks that don't need it can do it without. I've been in reading groups were some (but not all) people took it for credit and thought the dynamic was great. —mako

Content

  • Are there other canonical texts we're not getting to?
    • What about Marx, Weber, Durkheim?
    • Adam Smith, Darwin, Foucault?
    • Aristotle, Hobbes, Mill?
  • All of these are possible to get from other places including in any number of social theory courses offered at UW. I think I'd have a preference for doing something closer to specifics of what we study but that still has very broad appeal. Olson's The Logic of Collective Action, Marwell and Oliver's The Critical Mass in Collective Action, and/or Axelrod's Evolution of Cooperation. —mako
