  • Just/Eth/Human Rgts/Indigenous - 2022F (SISU-370-002)

    Justice, Ethics, and Human Rights for Indigenous Peoples (3) Over the past three decades, the rights of indigenous peoples has become an important component of international law and policy as a result of a global movement driven by indigenous peoples, civil society, international mechanisms, and different states at the domestic, regional, and international levels. This course covers the UN human rights system and regional mechanisms, laws, and policies as they engage with indigenous peoples to address their needs and priorities, such as rights to their lands, territories and resources, and self-determination in Americas, Eurasia, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Bearing in mind that indigenous peoples have experienced discrimination as peoples and individuals in many countries, the recognition of their rights is justified from an equality and non-discrimination perspective.

    Instructional Method: Online. Exploring the Arctic (3) This interdisciplinary course focuses on environmental, political, legal, economic, and societal/cultural issues. The course first analyzes Arctic state geopolitics and national/sub-national self-identity, and explores the changing north, focusing on environmental science issues, sustainable development of energy resources, the blue economy, and mineral extraction. It then examines cooperation, conflict, and territorial claims, with special emphasis on security issues and the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea. The course concludes by reviewing emerging issues and trends, including renewable energy development and comparative legal regime challenges. Students complete a research paper and actively participate in class, engaging with guest speakers including senior international policymakers, scientists, business leaders, and civil society representatives.

  • Youth Rising - 2022F (CORE-105-018)

    Youth Rising (3) In this course, students explore globally diverse youth-led movements through a multidisciplinary lens. The movements have profound connections to questions of culture, freedom, justice, violence, and civil resistance. While no single theory, paradigm, or ideology can explain the rise of diverse youth movements around the world today, a deep investigation of the scholarship, literature, case studies, and films helps students discover the possible causes and the impacts of nonviolent resistance. Students explore movements related to the climate crisis, violence, politics, economics, race, and class to provide new ways of understanding.

  • Fall 2022 Semester Applied Political Writing (GOVT-443-001, GOVT-643-001)

    Students in Applied Political Writing will develop: One, research-driven knowledge and methodologies of how political/public affairs messages are developed, disseminated and covered; two, communications strategies and documents that effectively communicate point of view and, ideally, persuade readers, voters and the general public; and three, a portfolio of writing samples, including a message box, media advisory, talking points, news release, op-ed, letter to the editor, news story, word clouds, radio script, TV script, and communications plan. The course will also, when appropriate, present historic context and precedent for effective political communications and writing, consistent with the course’s overarching goal of combining serious, research-based study with “real world” case studies and preparation.
