SOC-STD 98fu: Practicing Democracy: Leadership, Community, Power
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
Making democracy work requires an "organized" citizenry with power to assert its interests effectively. Yet US political participation declines, growing more unequal, as new democracies struggle to make citizen participation possible. Students learn to address public problems by organizing: developing leadership, building community, and mobilizing power. Our pedagogy links sociological, political science, and social psychology theory with democratic practice.

SOC-STD 98kb: Gender in Developing Nations
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
This course examines gender relations in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America from a sociological perspective. We begin by discussing various theories of gender and development. We then apply these theories to a number of different topics including political participation, economic activities, development initiatives, violence, warfare, sexuality, and reproduction. Although we discuss men and masculinity wherever possible, most of the research in this area is on women, and women are therefore central to most course readings and discussions.

SOC-STD 98kg: The Political Economy of Health in the Developing World
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
This course places the politics of health care in the context of economic development. Although health care and social programs are often considered secondary to economic growth, they have come to play an increasingly central role in development policy. This course explores the interaction between development and health through a survey of different theoretical approaches to development, combined with empirical research on public health, AIDS, family planning, and development programs.

SOC-STD 98kj: Religion and Politics in Modern America
4.00 Credits
Harvard University
This course addresses key themes and problems in the study of religion and politics in modern America. We will begin by wrestling with the thorny question of church-state relations before using historical episodes to explore two pressing theoretical issues: the construction of the category of "religion" itself and the debate over secularization. Finally, we will consider how the inclusion of previously marginalized groups (such as non-Judeo-Christian religious minorities, Mormons, conservative evangelicals, and secularists) challenges entrenched assumptions about the relationship between religion and politics.
