Midterm group reports

Indicate the topic & text you want to work on. Reports consist of a 500-word blog post, 15-minute presentation (in any preferred format) plus discussion (be sure to give us at least a couple of discussion questions) and a quiz over your presentation (and over any material you'd like to assign for us to read/watch/hear in advance). Be relevant, interesting, and provocative. Have fun.

Put a "V" next to your name if you volunteer (for a bonus run) to go first on Feb. 14.

  3. After I thought about it, I think I'd like to do Indigenous Native American philosophies. Would I need to narrow that down further to a specific Native American tribe?

    2. Not necessarily, but you & your teammates might want to focus specifically on different tribes/traditions.

  16. Section 6:
    Is anyone interested in doing a report over Buddhist philosophy? I was thinking about using either "Buddhism Without Beliefs" by Stephen Batchelor or "Why Buddhism is True" by Robert Wright for the text. I am open to other text suggestions though.
