MNY10 will run for four weeks in July 2023 // it's a general introduction to the field of American politics // focused on abundance politics // applications open now through June 25
Sounds like an awesome new class! Great to see MNY expanding. For someone who has already taken Foundations of New York, how much of this content do you think would be new versus a repetition of FoNY with a more general lens?
I think anyone who's gone through the Foundations will have seen most of this material at least in brief, although some things will be new. Regardless, I want to create wider circles of people who are interested in practical abundance politics to meet each other.
My goal for this class is to give more time to discussing the basics of law, politics, and government that *block* people from diving into the particulars of any jurisdiction. For example, in the Foundations, I used classes 1 and 2 to talk about the anti-politics meme, concreteness, and affordances, but it was brief. Those sorts of things will be expanded with more detail in this class. We'll also discuss electoral versus governing politics, and that is a new topic.
I also want to have a lighter-weight class for people to sample to see if they want to go deeper. MNY10 might grow into a prereq for the Foundations--we'll see how it develops.
