I was delighted to present my research, in two talks at Cornell. Grateful to colleagues and students, in ICM and Latino Studies, for the engagement and discussion!

A recent book that I haven't read yet but appears similar is Brassroots Democracy by @BenBarson5 . The many ways we have of sharing ideas and possibilities. All of this existed long before our modern media formation. These are tools available to us right now.

Congrats to Ben Barson on the launch of Brassroots Democracy (and a really fascinating talk this evening)! We played some jazz in a Vermont barn a decade ago and it's great that our paths have crossed again. Please check out this important book!
