Subject: [elc-grad] reading for seminar for 4/3

For seminar on April 3rd, we're going to read a short book:
Exit, Voice, and Loyalty by Albert O. Hirschman.  You can buy
it from Amazon at:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0674276604

Or if you want to credit the purchase to the elc pizza fund:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0674276604/booksontechnolan

If you find a used copy online, reading the older edition is fine.

Paul Resnick from University of Michigan recommended it.  When you
have dissent in a community, members can exit or they can voice their
dissent.  The book is about the consequences of those choices.
We're going to read the book together with Paul's class this term,
and join an online discussion of it together with his class.  See:
http://www.si.umich.edu/~presnick/courses/winter02/684/

For seminar on 4/10, we'll talk about the discussion with Paul's class,
and what it added to our appreciation of the book.

For seminar on 4/17, we'll talk about our discussion of our discussion
with Paul's class, and what that added... (OK, just kidding on that last
part.  ;-)

Subject: [elc-grad] reading for Wednesday

As I mentionned, we're reading Exit, Voice, and Loyalty for Wednesday.
I'm waiting to hear from Paul Resnick about whether we're still meeting
his class for an online discussion of the book.

I realize this is more reading than we usually do.  Please read as
much of the book as you can for Wednesday.  Try to make sure that you
read *at minimum* the first 54 pages.  Then you can finish it for the
following week.

Hope you find it interesting!
