Why I love the media department, and more specifically my courses this semester
This morning, I was reading the first in a set of readings for my production class. The article is called "Principles of Community-Based Action Research" it's all upbeat and pro-active about research that "provides people with the means to take systemic action to resolve specific problems."
The professor or someone, had added a bunch of marginalia to the reading before it was copied for class, so there are little comments littered around the text.
On one page, directly under the sentence :
"These values and assumptions are built into a set of guiding principles that can facilitate a democratic, participatory, liberating, and life-enhancing approach to research."
it says;
"fuck-off"
Oookay, so I won't get my hopes up too much then.
