  • PSC 432: Autonomy/Poli of Reproduction

    3.00 Credits
    University of New England

    This course explores the notion of reproductive autonomy through examination of the politics of reproduction in the United States. We will be particularly focused on the regulation of abortion and sterilization. The central questions of the course will be: What does the terrain of reproductive politics reveal about the contemporary understanding of women, maternal desire, and reproduction? What understandings of gender do reproductive policies, laws, and discourse reflect and re-entrench? How do policy and law incentivise certain women's reproduction while discouraging other women from reproducing? How might reproductive autonomy be achieved? What exactly does "reproductive autonomy" mean? In exploring this last question we will read an array of political and feminist theory.

  • PSC 490: Senior Seminar

    3.00 Credits
    University of New England

    The senior seminar, in conjunction with the integrative essay, is the capstone of a major's course work in the study of Political Science. The seminar's purpose is to engage the Department's students and faculty in sustained consideration of significant political questions. It does not seek to secure agreement on a body of substantive conclusions. Rather it aims to examine various strategies that may be employed in making sense of the issues discussed. For example, the seminar will explore the following question: What are the implications of the terrorism for the conduct of contemporary politics? The requirements for all participants in the senior Seminar are as follows: 1.)Attendance at all seminar meetings;2.) Completion of all reading prior to the meeting for which those materials have been assigned; 3.)Informed participation in discussion;4.)Submission, at the beginning of every other week's seminar meeting, of a paper which shall be not less than three and not more than four pages; 5.)Submission, during weeks when a paper is not submitted, of at least two carefully-crafted questions or a brief provocative paragraph regarding the assigned reading; 6.) Presentation of a brief oral argument explaining your integrative essay topic and submission of a written statement of that argument; and 7.) Completion of preliminary draft of your integrative essay (not less than 10 pp.).

  • PSC 491: Integrative Essay

    3.00 Credits
    University of New England

    Integrative essay topics need not to relate directly to the theme of the seminar. However, like the seminar, they must be "integrative" in character. That is, they must demonstrate serious and sustained effort to draw together the subject matters and investigative strategies of various departmental courses, as these are brought to bear on a question you find of interest. To insure that work on this project proceeds in a timely manner, each student must adhere to the following schedule: Students looking to graduate with "honors" must produce a thesis which, although similar in form and content to the integrative essay, is substantially longer and of significantly better quality. In order to graduate with honors, the members of your examining committee must collectively agree that your essay as well as your oral examination merit a grade of a B+ or better. Failure to meet this standard on either the written or the oral portion of the examination will remove a student from honors candidacy.
