Why It Matters
Policies are 'frozen' organizational logic. Analyzing a syllabus or an AI policy reveals what the university *values* and *fears*.
What To Learn
- Materiality analysis: How does the *design* of the LMS constrain action?
- Intertextuality: How does this policy reference other documents (e.g., legal code, marketing)?
- Discourse Analysis: Looking for power structures hidden in 'bureaucratic' language.
