Politics
  

  • POLI 142 SC - Marxist and Post-Marxist Political Thought

    In American public discourse, news media, and academic institutions, political discussion is almost always circumscribed by the limits of liberal ideology. The language of political liberalism is so ubiquitous that many students will be unaware of how their own moral sensibilities and political intuitions are products of liberal thought. In contrast, this course draws upon Marxist, post-modern, and post-colonial theory to explore radical perspectives on politics, economics, culture, and power. A basic familiarity with liberal political philosophy, while helpful, is not required.

  • POLI 143 SC - Civil Liberties and Fundamental Rights

    While civil liberties protect the individual from coercive power by outlining what the government must not do, civil rights protect the individual from coercive power by obligating the government to take positive action. This course examines civil liberties and civil rights in American public law and jurisprudence.

  • POLI 144 SC - Legal Storytelling and the Rule of Law

    This course examines the competing claims of “legalism” (with its emphasis on formal rules and neutral principles) and “legal storytelling” (which prioritizes subjective experiences of the law as actually practiced) regarding questions of race, gender, and justice in American constitutional law. Through close readings of both literary and legal texts, the course adopts a humanistic approach to legal scholarship, locating the force of law within its discursive and rhetorical dimensions. Topics to be discussed include: rights to privacy, sexuality and reproductive freedom; sexual harassment and racist speech; anti-discrimination, integration, and affirmative action.
