This course investigates the gendered dimensions of armed conflict, foreign policy, international governance, peace-building, and post-conflict insecurities. Students will engage with academic and policy debates about how gendered power distributions shape international and human security. We will explore the issues raised in these debates by considering historical and contemporary global cases, including the role of masculinity in foreign policy, women's participation in political violence, gender-based civilian targeting, international post-conflict courts and transitional justice.

This course will introduce the fundamentals of applied Bayesian data analysis for social scientists - including model development, estimation, quantification of uncertainty, and model checking - as well as a few key notions from statistical machine learning. Emphasis will be on acquiring basic computational skills needed by practitioners and on interpretation of results.

This course explores central themes in democratic theory including civic participation, political representation, liberalism, republicanism, deliberation, immigration, pluralism, power, civic identity, and race and class inequality. In engaging with historical and contemporary texts, students will be encouraged to reflect on the meaning of democratic citizenship. Readings draw from Aristotle, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, John Dewey, Walter Lippmann, James Madison, Iris Marion Young, Jurgen Habermas, Alexis de Tocqueville, Sheldon Wolin, and Judith Shklar.

This course examines contemporary forms of political activism, participation, and protest. Drawing on select case studies, principally from Latin America, the U.S, and Europe, we will pay particular attention to the dynamic development of feminisms, anti-racist/Black mobilizations, anti-austerity and pro-democracy protests, and LGBTQ organizing.
