Peter Jackson’s definition of cultural politics: “the domain in which meanings are constructed and negotiated, where relations of dominance and subordination are defined and contested,” papers in this session will discuss how understandings of exclusion, fragmentation, and disconnect intersect with culturally constructed social divisions such as ethnicity, race, gender, nationality, religion, class, age-grade, and/or sexuality. http://h-net.msu.edu/cgi-bin/logbrowse.pl?trx=vx&list=H-CAE&month=0803&week=b&msg=GcohxmT627IhtsnvhLAsgw&user=&pw=

Citizen participation Sherry Arnstein Sherry Arnstein discusses eight types of participation in A Ladder of Citizen Participation (1969). Often termed as "Arnstein's ladder", these are broadly categorized as: Citizen Power: Citizen Control, Delegated Power, Partnership. Tokenism: Placation, Consultation, Informing. Non-participation: Therapy, Manipulation. citizen participation: redistribution of power that enables the have-not citizens, presently excluded from the political and economic processes, to be deliberately included in the future. http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4zN2YcMsVMM/S6C8z5SXoqI/AAAAAAAABNg/wIRx50dAWWQ/s400/pubs-5xkj6p-ladder.gif&imgrefurl=http://environmentalistonamission.blogspot.com/2010/03/closer-look-at arnsteinsladder.html&h=357&w=387&sz=16&tbnid=10Sr663Ul_hHgM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=98&zoom=1&usg=__j-M7GQnA41g-tV8RkLtpjrzYIXE=&docid=sR58-rUWd5kOaM&sa=X&ei=EiJfUdCbFtO-4APetIGoCw&ved=0CEgQ9QEwBA&dur=2730
