PBPL 26400: Quantitative Methods in Public Policy
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course involves a problem-by-problem investigation of how to apply the right statistics to contemporary public policy issues (in contrast to the method-by-method approach traditionally used to teach statistics). Quantitative public policy involves the use of four core methodologies: analysis of cross-tabulations, ordinary least squares regression, logistic regression, and analysis of variance. This course prepares students to understand scholarly articles using these four methods. We use a case analysis approach teaching specific decision algorithms in the application of the four methods. We also conduct analyses in SPSS using General Social Survey data and write up the results. W. Carter. Autumn.

PBPL 26505: The Case Study as a Public Policy Research Method
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course presents contemporary approaches to completing such a project: deciding what flavor of case to select, selecting the specific cases to be investigated, planning and conducting the research, and writing up the findings. We explore the methodology's strengths and weaknesses by constructing a case study regarding the public policy roles of the Chicago Tribune. The primary case study methodologies (i.e., literature review, content analysis, key informant interviews, social observation) are used to explore quantitative and qualitative approaches to building this case. We also read published case studies to develop a list of "best practices" for the method . W. Carter. Spring.

PBPL 26709: Public Policy:The Great Books and Articles
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
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

PBPL 27105: Housing Segregation in the United States
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course examines the historical development of racially segregated metropolitan areas in the United States from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. We look at the historical roots of division along lines of race and class in spatial, as well as economic and cultural, terms. We discuss the impact of various phenomena (e.g., migration, economic shifts, housing legislation, changing social and cultural ideals) and notions of the "American dream." Our explorations cover metropolitan areas across the country, but include a special focus on the Midwest in general and Chicago in particular . T. Mah. Winter.
