To clarify: Readings for April

You'll need to do four readings for our April seminar meeting:

(1) Chapter 1 ("Substance") from James Peacock's The Anthropological Lens, available as an e-book from Gary Library.

(2) Deborah Lupton's article "Monsters in Metal Cocoons", available from Gary Library's online collection of scholarly journals.

(3) John Jakle's article on how the American landscape was reshaped by and for cars, available in Google Docs

(4) Whichever of the following three articles (also available in Google Docs) you chose at our March meeting:

O'Dell, "Raggare and the Panic of Mobility" (on Sweden)
Stotz, "The Colonizing Vehicle" (Australia)
Verrips and Meyer, "Kwaku's Car" (Ghana)

Sometime before the next weekend meeting, post a written response to at least one of the first three readings. Save your thoughts on the Sweden/Australia/Ghana reading for our meeting, where we'll get into these in more depth.

And don't forget to do at least a little more journaling in your "auto-biography," to reflect on how (or if!) your planned changes in your automotive behavior are going!
