POLT 255 - Democratic Theory, Citizenship, and Race


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits
Attribute: 4SS

This course explores the histories, promises, and pitfalls of democracy and citizenship: two ideals that are central to contemporary political life yet remain, at best, unfinished projects. Throughout, we look closely at tensions in the practice of democracy and citizenship, asking whether full citizenship for some requires less-than-full citizenship for others across racial lines, whether full inclusion is possible and/or sufficient, and how democratic theory and practice might or might not help confront racial inequality.
Enrollment Limit: 25
Instructor: C. Hobbs-Morgan
