    PhD Seminar Fall 2008, Spring 2009. One and one-half credits per semester. Victoria Hattam The dissertation is simultaneously the capstone of graduate education and the prelude to an academic career. With this in mind, the seminar is designed to assist advanced students in formulating a research project that may also carve out a distinctive niche in political science. It combines the reading of exemplary literature with writing practice. It considers how to select appropriate methods and helps students form the critical support networks that are indispensable to success. The seminar extends over the entire year; each semester students will write one critical paper on an exemplary work in their own field as well as prepare a draft of their proposal for discussion by the group as a whole. Admission to this seminar normally requires that the student has passed at least one field exam and that the student provide a statement from a dissertation advisor saying that he or she is working seriously on a dissertation proposal. Students must register for both fall 2008 and spring 2009 semesters.

    History and Systems of Psychology Spring 2009. Three credits. Arthur Blumenthal Great moments in modern psychological research and discovery stand upon a mountain of historical roots.

It reviews the tangled rise of modern psychology and gives samples of the detective work that expose some of this field's origin myths.

    Social Psychology [S] Fall 2008. Three credits. Emanuele Castano This course provides students with a broad overview of social psychological research. Central to the course is the idea that human beings are not isolated entities who process information like computers, but social animals engaged in a complicated network of social relations, both real and imagined. Constrained by our cognitive capacities and guided by many different motives and fundamental needs, we attempt to make sense of the social world in which we live and of ourselves in relation to it. We see how this influences perceptions of the self, perceptions of other individuals and groups, beliefs and attitudes, group processes, and intergroup relations. Readings emphasize how various theories of human behavior are translated into focused research questions and rigorously tested via laboratory experiments and field studies.
