Ask Lemmygrad

For my political science class I have to make a presentation analyzing an article. She gave us a set amount to present on, all related to university, but because of my issues she’s allowing me to present by myself and on a topic I am passionate about as long as it is related to the university. I chose imperialism and how universities can be a weapon for it.

The article I am analyzing is called “Militarizing Education: the Intelligence Community’s Spy Camps,” it’s a chapter from the book the Imperial University: Academic Repression and Scholarly Dissent. one of the chapters is actually written by Vijay Prashad but his felt a little less relevant to my project.

For the analysis part I had to find 5 scholarly sources, which you don’t have to worry about as I already found them. One of my sources is literally Lenin’s Imperialism the highest stage of capitalism. During my presentation I am going to talk about the School of Americas and I have some ideas on how to engage the class when that part comes, but at the end I have to do an “activity” with the class.

Previous presentations saw the class answer a series of questions, do group analysis on a few questions, and play a kahoot game. If it were up to me I’d just do my presentation and then sit my ass down. But I can’t do that so I’m asking for help from you.

Do you have any ideas on what I can do at the end of my presentation to fill out the “engagement” part of the grading rubric? I want to do well because I’ve been dying this semester.
