Internal Expert Plans:
Dr. Holt: In my discussion with Dr. Holt, I will ask her if she has any ideas on where I should begin my research, along with her ideas on how certain authors, like Nietzsche, Foucault, and Baudrillard have influenced politics. Additionally, I will ask her for a background on postmodernism, and whether different postmodernists have had different impacts on politics.
Mrs. Despathy: In my discussion with Mrs. Despathy, I will ask her about the significance of theories like biopolitics and hyperrealities, and about why they are so controversial. Additionally, I will ask her if the debate space has had any impact on the prevalence of these theories in political discussions writ large. I will also ask her about the differences between different postmodernist theories.

External Expert Plans:
Mikhail Epstein: In my discussion with Mikhail Epstein, I will ask him if he can provide insight on the geopolitical impact of postmodernism writ large. Additionally, I will ask him if postmodernists have had the same impact on Russian politics as they have on American politics. I will also ask him how he thinks postmodernism has influenced politics, and what postmodernists have had the greatest impact on politics.
