Intermed Macroeconomic Theory

Theories of determination of national income, employment, and the price level. Monetary and fiscal policy. Income inequality and economic instability. The course will emphasize the use of economic theory to understand current developments and policy issues in the U.S. and international economy. It will differ from a standard Econ 204 course by providing more opportunities to develop research and writing skills. The course will be especially useful for students interested in doing a senior capstone or thesis.

S- Political Communication

This course examines foundational and current approaches to the study of political communication effects on attitudes and behaviors. As one course cannot fully cover an area of study as wide-ranging as political communication, we will focus on the influence of mass media and, to a lesser extent, interpersonal discussion in the U.S. context. The lessons to be drawn are quite general, however, so by the end of the course you should have a strong understanding of ongoing debates, theorizing, methods, and results in the field of political communication.
