POLS 150 Introduction to Political Theory

“This is what democracy looks like!” But what exactly should democracy look like? This course introduces students to political theory through historical and contemporary debates over democratic visions and challenges. By engaging with political thinkers across space and time, students will not only learn to study politics with interpretive, normative, and critical approaches, but in that process also rethink and expand on their repertoire of democratic practices.
