Opinion Pieces


Welcome to the portal for the opinion pieces. Here you can read my opinion on different subjects, each piece is focused on elements relevant to the discussions from the semester. The format that these pieces are delivered in is mini essays, so these are less formal than the traditional essay like was submitted for the midterm paper.

There are three pieces to start and if I have more time I will write more, but at the moment that seems unlikely. One of these should jog your memory a bit if you recall some group events we have done in the past. Another is an extension of in class discussions, and a third which is entirely new while still being based in the course readings.
