This course offers a survey of theoretical, conceptual, and applied issues related to the systematic study of public policy. As students of politics, we will engage disparate takes on elements of the policy process and public policy. In treating the meanings and functions of public policy as contested terrain, this course is designed to facilitate an analytical focus towards the subject matter. The course itself is divided into three sections: (1) theoretical perspectives for understanding, designing, and assessing public policy; (2) the policy process; and (3) groups and public policy. Another section devoted to specific policy topics is incorporated through issue forums and policy presentations. TuTh 4:00 - 5:15 O'Brien

I'd say the work we're doing is a hybrid of auto and quantum mechanics. Something very ordinary plus an x factor nobody's yet reduced to a formula. That's why every good story is, like Tolstoy's famously unhappy family, good in its o Your good stories are what we'll be reading and discussing in class, with hopes of making them even better.
