FYSM 105 - Race,Ethnicity,Gender and Class in American Politics

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This seminar explores the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender and class in American politics from the early 20th century through the present day. We will study a broad range of demographic groups and their roles as voters, party activists, candidates, and public officials. By exploring the socio-historical context within which each group acts, we will also consider the non-traditional forms of political participation embraced by some of these groups and the reasons that marginalized groups have resorted to such strategies. The process of political socialization will also be considered, as will the political behavior, attitudes, and public policy opinions of the various groups. We will also examine theories of coalition and conflict among these groups. 1.00 units, Seminar
