POLS 5752 - The Politics of Intersectionality
Examines the emergence and prevalence of ‘intersectionality’ as a theoretical framework, political practice, and terrain of lived experience. Intersectionality signifies the simultaneity of identities and is commonly considered a robust approach to examining complicated, lived experiences. Intersectionality illuminates how multiple forms of disempowerment intersect and interact with one another, and captures the ways such intersections lead to deeper and more complex forms of subordination. Examines how a person who suffers from racism, poverty, and sexism has a much different lived experience than a person who may experience racist oppression, but whose sex and class status are privileged according to societal norms and expectations.

POLS 5753 - American Whiteness
Engages Critical Race Theory and Critical White Studies in order to better understand how ‘whiteness’ perpetuates itself and racism as well. Critically examines the concept of whiteness, and what it has meant to the (white) public over time. To what extent is being white a biological, ideological, psychological, or political phenomenon? Introduces theories of whiteness as a legal construction, as a privileged status, and as a dynamic social identity. Aids understanding the political meaning of whiteness by examining the relationship of whiteness to American citizenship, immigrants’ motivations to assimilate into whiteness, and by learning how politicians and governmental bodies have protected the interests of white Americans by inscribing white privilege into public policies. Investigates white American public opinion on political issues, their attitudes about people of color, as well as what they think about their own racial group and racial identity. Discusses the normative quality of white racial identity, and how colorblind ideology makes it difficult to see and understand whiteness as power and privilege. Examines the contexts in which whiteness is made visible, and how awareness of white racial identity can be cultivated.

POLS 5754 - Black Political Thought
Surveys various ideological traditions that have inspired the political visions and agendas of Black Americans. Though white supremacy has negatively affected the lives of Black Americans for centuries, the response to racial oppression has been far from monolithic. In challenging white hegemony and racial oppression, Black thinkers have addressed the contradictions inherent in the joint projects of egalitarianism and racial hierarchy. Some of the greatest contributions to American political thought emerged from competing ideological frameworks, such as the debate over accommodation versus full and immediate racial integration, nonviolence versus self-defense, and socialism versus capitalist entrepreneurship, just to name a handful of contests. In envisioning an optimal racial environment, generations of activists have inserted their concerns over other related social arrangements such as sexism, classism and heterosexism, and have consequently pushed Black and non-Black Americans alike to imagine their ideal political conditions.

POLS 5756 - The Politics of Visibility

POLS 5765 - Diaspora, Transnationalism and Post-Colonialism
This course introduces students to the theories, concepts and applications of the field of post-colonial, transnational and diaspora studies. As post-colonial studies is a wide field, we are engaged here in acquiring a working knowledge of its major ideas, conceptual platforms and methods of inquiry that are the bases of post-colonial studies. We will be examining some of the key themes in post-colonial studies, as well as reading some of the foundational texts on which the field of post-colonial studies is grounded.
The varied and multi-disciplinary fields of study that form our theoretical framework are founded on three premises: a) that whilst the era of formal colonialism is over, the social institutions, cultural practices and ideological formations produced by colonialism and other forms of oppression have left their legacy in the contemporary world; b) that mainstream ways of thought, interpretation and action have been informed and continue to be permeated by dominant conceptions from the West; and c) that race is a transnational phenomenon, tied to and imbued with the power of modernity.
These foundations provide some identifiable common denominators: a willingness to challenge the hegemonic assumptions of the West; a moral imperative to understand history and society from the point of view of those it has least benefited and who have been marginalized and even oppressed; an understanding that the current world system is the result of a world-historical racial project; and as a result, a theoretical commitment to developing new, more inclusive and more progressive ways of thinking and analyzing social, economical, political and historical forces that critically interrogate Western hegemonic forms of knowledge. Post-colonialism therefore includes studies of the formal colonial period and its aftermath. We are here mostly concerned with ¿late colonialism,¿ and the majority of this course will focus, although not exclusively, on the British colonial empire. This course is highly theoretical and interdisciplinary. Material will be chosen from a wide variety of geographical areas and from post-colonial thinkers from different disciplines.

POLS 5805 - Political Science Fiction
Science fiction holds a mirror to the norms, rules and institutions that exist in the contemporary political world, engaging in fundamental comparisons about the way the world is, how it came to be, and what alternatives may exist for the political future. Examining and analyzing the prominent themes and issues in these fictional worlds sheds light on past, present, and future political phenomena of our real one. The course examines works of science fiction (both literature and film) side-by-side with political analyses of a variety of topics: state- and nation-building, war and peace-building, citizenship, race, gender, bio-ethics, revolution and rebellion, the military industrial complex, capitalism and democracy. For example, fiction works that may be used in the course include Foundations, Game of Thrones, the Hunger Games, World War Z, the Handmaid¿s Tale, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, etc. Science fiction literature and film are points of departure for a more substantive focus on these and other important issues in contemporary politics.
