It was broadcast on HBO from 2002 to 2008. The show is set in Baltimore, Maryland and follows the city's drug scene through the eyes of law enforcement, drug dealers and users. The series has been praised by critics and audiences alike for its nuanced and realistic portrayal of the city of Baltimore, its characters, and its unflinching examination of the impact of the drug trade on the urban poor. ]]> 2023-01-26 12:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/s3siquin/7a9vgn8q5eg38zws/wish/2457520503 To save some time: https://padlet.com/s3siquin/7a9vgn8q5eg38zws/wish/2457541412 Watch the videos for the Group Work you have been assigned to via the stud.ip post (you are either part of Group Wallace or Group Bodie) before class and go through your notes on the text "Identity and Difference" by Kathryn Woodward.
