OOTC: Who Controls the Narrative

Back in the Office of the Citizen, L. Joy brings us a lesson that examines the powerful connection between narrative, education, community, and civic power. She opens with a reflection on history, and argues that political power is shaped not only through elections, demonstrations, and public policy, but also through the stories a society chooses to teach about itself. To bring additional context to the conversation, L. Joy brings Dr. Shango Blake to the front of the class.
