CORE 003 SC - Democracy in Theory and Practice Democracy In Theory and Practice will interrogate the ideals of democratic theory in light of what actually ends up happening in campaigns, elections, and government policy. The class will confront students with key critiques of democracy to help them understand the current American political scene from the vantage point of competing (and often conflicting) “histories of the present”-including forms of political activism that reject electoral politics or which go beyond the two major American political parties. The class will also provide students with the chance to dialogue in class with local politicians and require that each student to do substantial volunteer work on a local political campaign of their choice.
Course Credit: 1.0
