S-Const Amendment Workshop

What if a Constitution drafted in the 18th century is inadequate to the needs of a 21st century nation ? How should we amend it? In this hands-on course blending team-based learning and discussion-based classes, students will jointly identify a small number of perceived deficiencies in the US Constitution, research the history, interpretation, and application of the operative provisions, explore alternative models from other constitution, and develop proposed amendments for presentation to and discussion by the entire class.

Independent Study

Consider independently exploring a topic of interest under the guidance of a faculty member. Once you identify the subject, take time to research our faculty and their publications. It is important to ensure your interests intersect before asking if they will work with you. This work will be graded and may apply to your upper-level Political Science degree requirements.

ST-Science/Health Inequalities

This course offers an unique approach to the study and understanding of health inequalities in the United States - the fact that the burden of disease and death affects populations differently in the United States. A social gradient runs through health indicators such that the poor do worse than the middle class, who do worse than their more affluent counterparts.
