Section Description
This seminar will meet on 9/15, 9/29, 10/13, 10/27, 11/10, 11/17, 12/1.
This seminar examines the crisis of contemporary liberal democracy by imagining its possible futures. Each week explores a particular dimension of democracy, ranging from its constitutional structure to the social forces that sustain and undermine it. Leading scholars in each field present their own work in conjunction with selected canonical readings. The seminar meets every two weeks and students are expected to submit response papers for each session (1200 words each) and are encouraged to participate. This course counts towards the JD Minor Writing Credit.
