The focus\, moving ahead\, was to add mo re Eastern and tribal communities to enhance the geographic scope of the w ork. Furthermore\, a suggestion at a Stanford conference sparked the idea of adding heterogeneity to the database. This aspect was fascinating from a CGI perspective because several communities had such a rich array of soc ial\, economic and ethnic groups\, often with conflicting interests\, and yet they functioned productively. The challenge here was to capture as muc h of the complexity of heterogeneity and its impact on institutions while using as few tags as possible to keep the procedure of coding for this sim ple. Eventually\, in addition to the types of heterogeneity\, the kind of inclusion of disparate groups and power imbalances were added to the field \, which I'll be explaining in more detail in the presentation.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/Govbase/2/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
