DESCRIPTION:Noah Nathan — Associate Professor of Political Science\, Mass
 achusetts Institute of Technology. We argue that exposures affect politica
 l behavior by shaping residents’ access to political information and cap
 acity for collective action. We focus on the informal\, vernacular archite
 cture of West Africa’s dominant urban housing form – the compound hous
 e. Compound house residents in urban Ghana participate more in politics th
 an similar residents of other housing types. We suggest that this relation
 ship emerge from the effects of architectural design on visibility and soc
 ial ties among co-tenant\n\nCONTACT: 262-2380\, asp@africa.wisc.edu\n\nURL
