While this course may be organized along traditional institutional and behavioral lines, analytically it will focus on three themes: the struggles of this nation as it exercises its human capacity to find creative and just solutions to its collective problems; the concept of citizenship and its place in American politics and within a global context; and whether cross-cultural understanding is a systemic and moral imperative. The aim of this introductory course is not only to create good scholars, but also to create good citizens. 3 credits.
