You can see the notes from our discussion yesterday in this Google Doc. The Google doc is also editable, so if you see anything you wish to add, please feel free to do so.

Some of the topics covered in these notes are:

• What is the definition of a utopian community? Different categories of communities?
• Different scholarly approaches of "lumping" and "splitting"
• What is the difference (if there is one) between a "sociological perspective" on utopias and a historical one?
• What are some scholarly questions about utopian communities where there might be disagreements?

These topics might be useful for you to return to in later weeks as you begin planning your research paper.
