PBPL 26709 - Public Policy:The Great Books and Articles

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

This course examines the great books and articles from the public policy literature. Our approach is to focus in depth on digestible parts of each "great book," rather than reading and superficially discussing the complete tome. The public policy canon consists of the books that define our field and that differentiate it from purely academic disciplines on the one hand and from journalism on the other hand. We focus on applying public policy perspectives, as found in these seminal sources, to contemporary policy issues of interest to the class. Class members who have selected a BA topic are encouraged to apply the theoretical lenses found in the great books to strengthen the literature review/theory section of their BA paper as the product of th e quarter ? work. Those with less defined programs of study write papers comparing, and critically assessing, the approaches from their preferred subset of the reading s. W. Carter. Winter
