Antigone in Ferguson was the beginning of an open discussion with the Ferguson community about the injustices they have faced. I believe it was important for them to reach out to everyone in the community because said conversation should’ve involved everyone in the community. To be able to air out any grievances and serious commentary they must include everyone and not have a biased demographic. I think the reasoning behind including the police force was simply to bring together two communities that have a hard time communicating to one another. Allowing both groups to have an open conversation about the negative affects on both sides. After watching the play my mind changed from it being a boring play to a play that brings to light social issues we are facing today. The play made it easier to digest and put it in a more modern light that I enjoyed more.

Class Meetings & Times: in person Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4 – 5:15 PM in Namm 403
Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12 – 1:30 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
