HIST 28301 /38301: Political Communication Networks
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
The focus of this course is to examine empirical evidence to determine if an individual's social context has the ability to impact her political behavior. We examine two major questions: to what extent do we observe correlation between individuals actions and those within a social framework and to what extent may we identify a causal relationship between the political behavior of the social group and the individual. Specific readings are drawn from collective action problems, information flow within networks, network formation, and the extent to which we can observ e respondents ' voting behaviors that are consistent with the ir discussant s' surveys or field experimen ts.

HIST 28501: The Historiography of Asian American Studies
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course is designed to be both an introduction to the field and an opportunity to examine the forty-year history of scholarship in Asian American studies and its future direction. We familiarize ourselves with some of the classic texts in Asian American studies (including documentary films), identifying various approaches and debates, while also carefully considering historical contexts in which the works were produced. Readings alternate between historical narrative and theoretical works meant to provide the tools with which to think about how historical narratives are constructed. T. Mah. Spring.

HIST 29301 /39301: Human Rights I:Philosophical Foundations of Human Rights
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
The aim of this course is to help students think philosophically about human rights. We ask whether human rights has or needs philosophical foundations, what we need such foundations for, and where they might be found. We also ask some questions that tend to generate the search for philosophical foundations: Are human rights universal or merely the product of particular cultures What kinds of rights (e.g., political, cultural, economic, negative, positive) are human rights Can there be human rights without human duties Without universal enforcement Do the rights we enshrine as human mark only some of us (e.g., men) as human Autumn.

HIST 29302 /39302: Human Rights II:History and Theory
3.00 Credits
University of Chicago
This course is concerned with the theory and the historical evolution of the modern human rights regime. It discusses the emergence of a modern "human rights" culture as a product of the formation and expansion of the system of nation-states and the concurrent rise of value-driven social mobilizations. It juxtaposes these Western origins with competing non-Western systems of thought and practices on rights. The course proceeds to discuss human rights in two prevailing modalities. First, it explores rights as protection of the body and personhood and the modern, Western notion of individualism. Second, it inquires into rights as they affect groups (e.g., ethnicities and, potentially, transnational corporations) or states . M. Geyer. Winter.
