GSFS 278 - Ideal vs Practice of US Democracy: Gender, Race, and the War on Terror


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 credits

This course examines the fundamental sociopolitical tension resulting from the discrepancy between democratic ideals and democratic practice in the US. Through an in-depth study of three themes-gender, race, and the War of Terror-we will closely analyze the gap between the democratic system of government we imagine ourselves to have, and the reality of historical and contemporary discrimination, exclusion, and curtailment of rights.
