U.S. Foreign Policy (Fall 2021 and Fall 2022)
The three primary goals that shape the design of this course are: first, familiarize students with the literature on U.S. foreign policy, the classics as well as more contemporary works; second, to impart students knowledge of the history of U.S. foreign policy and the policymaking process that guided the main policy decisions of the past century; and third, to provide students with the tools to evaluate and analyse U.S. foreign policy, being able to contextualize the historical and bureaucratic roots of policy decisions they observe in the media.
Political Internship (Summer 2021)
This course emphasizes guiding students through the design and execution of a carefully defined small-scale research project, and an analysis of their research that can be communicated intelligibly to a public audience using evidence-based argument. The coursework is designed to sharpen students’ ability to use basic academic research skills as tools in a professional environment, and to convey the results of their research in ways that contribute to public discourse about politics, policy, and government.
