FS 004 PZ -Right Wing Politics*

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course explores contemporary right-wing politics, both in the United States and globally. By reading right-wing political theory, by analyzing right-wing political movements, and by writing extensively about both, we will uncover the social and political foundations of the contemporary right. In doing so, we will seek to move beyond superficial dismissals of conservative politics and instead to figure out why exactly people associate with the political right today. All this, of course, will allow us to ask: what is to be done? [W. Barndt, Political Studies]
