Some of the most enduring divisions and tensions in American social and political life center on race and ethnicity. This course aims to examine and better understand the relationship between perceptions of racial/ethnic identity, attributions of racial/ethnic difference, and politics, broadly defined. We begin by first posing the question of whether racial and ethnic hierarchies are built into the foundation of American history, politics, and policy, or simply eradicable flaws in an otherwise just and democratic society. We then examine what role, if any, racial or ethnic attachments play in shaping decision making and behavior across a range of political arenas. As we grapple with the central theoretical and thematic debates that have characterized the study of race and ethnic politics, we will also strongly consider the significance of identity politics more broadly.

Hybrid interdisciplinary graduate seminar that combines themes from comparative politics, political philosophy and theory, and public administration and public policy, that seeks to provoke innovative and critical thinking about good governance. It seeks to shift thinking from structure to process. Rather than asking what is the best form of government, a question that has vexed political philosophy forever, or explaining how nation can transition to democracy (the best form of government) as comparative politics does, this course will ask how can we provide the best governance outcomes.

This seminar aims to provide students with an understanding of the current wave of populism: its causes, significance, and implications. The course has a theoretical and an empirical component. The course surveys debates about what 'populism' means and how it should be understood. How can we recognize a 'populist'? Is populism problematic for democracy? Is populism driven more by economics, or by identity, or by both? How analytically useful is 'populism' as a concept? The course also surveys debates about the causes and consequences of populist mobilization from across the world.
