Res on Environmental Pol
Section Info:
Restricted to Political Science majors until noon on November 15, 2021. Topic: Research on Environmental Politics Students in this course will conduct semester-long research on a topic of their choice. We begin with several books on environmental politics, mostly from outside political science, to think about interesting and important topics. We will read these books with an eye toward developing researchable questions using the perspectives of political science. For example, we might read journalist and then think about how to examine their insights using political science research designs and methods. Students will develop their own questions and their research can use any theoretical or methodological approach found in political science. Students will also engage regularly with one another’s work.

FeminismBioethicsBiopolitics
Section Info:
Restricted to Political Science majors until noon on November 15, 2021. Topic: Feminism, Bioethics and Biopolitics. This course examines how recent developments in the life sciences prompt us to reframe debates about bioethics and biopolitics. The course will draw on research in epigenetics, microbiomics, immunology, neuroscience, and environmental toxicology according to which the biological body changes how it rebuilds itself in response to its experience of the social and material world. Exploring the implications of this work, students will engage topics such as the nature of the self, the scope of political agency and moral responsibility, and the practice of medical research, with especial attention to the politics of race, gender, and class. Applies to Law and Power concentration.
