FYSM 101 - Power,Politics,and the Struggle for Democracy

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Reacting seminars involve students in timeless ideas and important books by giving them roles in games or simulations set in critical moments in history. Most of the seminar is devoted to these games in which students work together in groups and organize the class to try to win the game for their side of the issue. The aim is not to re-enact the past; rather, students are challenged to react to issues and debates and come up with their own creative historical alternatives. Students in this seminar will determine the nature of democracy in ancient Athens and grapple with the issues facing India on the eve of colonial independence. 1.00 units, Seminar
