For this project I asked others for a short story or couple of sentences about when it was or where they were when they first had an experience or memory involving politics.  I do this experiment now, because I think it is important that we purposefully evoke these memories.  Some questions I hoped to understand were: how do people form opinions about politics? What are the political concepts that engage people, even at a young age?  Why do certain political issues seem more “pressing” than others?  By listening to and writing about other peoples’ stories, I was better able to answer some of these questions.
