One (of many) which I’ve neglected posting … Carl Sandler Berkowitz alerted us to WAMC’s ‘Academic Minute’ and way back in July, well, here’s the official description:
In today’s Academic Minute, Dr. Elizabeth Markovits of Mount Holyoke College explains a striking similarity between the plot elements that define Greek tragedy and the democratic process.
Elizabeth Markovits is an assistant professor of politics at Mount Holyoke College where her research interests include ancient Greek political thought, modern feminism, and democratic theory. In 2008 she published The Politics of Sincerity: Plato, Frank Speech, and Democratic Judgment.
