POLSC 276 - Imagining New Political Futures
Credits: 4
An introduction to Marxist and feminist thinking regarding political, economic, and social organization. We first examine Marxist approaches regarding concepts such as labor, democracy, and consumerism, and apply these concepts to contemporary issues such as inequality, political representation, climate change and other forms of environmental degradation, and economic and cultural globalization. We then examine feminist and social democratic models for economic and political organization. Students also complete a research project exploring various ways that policies might incorporate these theories to address contemporary social or political problems of interest to them.
Distribution Requirements: CL, PD.
