POST 165 PZ -Discourse & Democracy in the US

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course explores contemporary and classic themes in American democracy. What are the key elements of a healthy democracy? What are the key threats? How do we promote and protect healthy discourse, deliberation and representation? Topics include democratic institutions, race, gender, class, media, parties, economics, voting behavior, voting rights, public opinion and political culture. While we pay particular attention to recent elections and topics, we situate those events in a broader historical, theoretical and global context.
