Representation

In this course, we will work together to develop a detailed and comprehensive understanding of the concept(s) of political representation. We will do so by examining a number of historical and contemporary theories of political representation developed within philosophy and cognate fields. Elements used in grading: a workshop paper, weekly workshop responses to fellow classmates' workshop papers, a class presentation, a workshop recap, a final paper abstract, and a final paper. Cross-listed with Comparative Studies in Race & Ethnicity (CSRE 371) and Philosophy (PHIL 371W).
