Robert Coven commented on John Lee's blog post 'The Court of North Carolina as a democratic space?'
The Court of North Carolina could function as a center for "Democratic Life" on campus. This wide-open and attractive space is inviting, but the school has not provided facilities that make for the court's best use--it is a promise unfulfilled. Th...

Shannon Hines commented on John Lee's blog post 'The Court of North Carolina as a democratic space?'
The Court of North Carolina lends itself to being a place for democratic space. The idea that it is one of the only areas on North Campus that has such an opening and inviting feel draws people to it. On warm, sunny days you always see people sitt...

Charley Norkus commented on John Lee's blog post 'The Court of North Carolina as a democratic space?'
My concern focused on universal access and barriers to it. There were plenty of great places for people to express themselves, carry on public or private conversations, to paint, write or read poetry (the little amphitheatre - what it does to one'...

Kyle Moore commented on John Lee's blog post 'The Court of North Carolina as a democratic space?'
While I think the Court of the Carolinas has the potential to be used for democratic life, I believe it was designed with a different purpose in mind, that of the mental health and wellness of the students. Or at least, that's how I see it because...

The Court of North Carolina as a democratic space?

As one of the few public open areas on the North Campus of North Carolina State University, the Court of North Carolina is a particularly important public space. The space is mostly defined by a large rectangular pastoral area measuring about 700 by 300 feet. Flanking this large grassy area on three sides are seven buildings (Leazar Hall, Poe Hall, Page Hall, 1911 Building, Winston Hall, Caldwell Hall, and Tompkins Hall) on the fourth and west side of the court is an open transition to Peale Hal… Continue

Worry no more, I have found an artistic refuge for Poe in something know as brutalist architecture. Yes, the design of Poe was a… Continue

Online history overload?

The more time I spend online engaging historical resources, the more convinced I become that the shear volume of what's available has outstripped my (our) abilities to comprehend or even discuss digital history as body of content. Just take the collection online at HeritageQuest Online (http://www.heritagequestonline.com) from ProQuest. The site includes access to U.S. Census records, Freedman's Bureau records, Revolutionary War records, over 22,000 books on local and genealogical history, and P… Continue
