ST-Intro:Women&Politics in USA

This course examines women's political incorporation in the United States primarily, but not exclusively, with respect to electoral politics. We explore women's pre-suffrage political activities before delving into the campaign for women's suffrage. We study the effects of achieving suffrage on women's political behavior during the period immediately following their achievement of the right to vote and beyond. The relationship between women and party politics will be probed before discussing the challenges women still face as candidates in state and federal legislatures in the U.S.

ST-Anarch&Rev:SpanishCivilWar

Anarchism offers a critique of existing societies, a vision of an egalitarian, non-hierarchical alternative, and a theory of social revolution. This course introduces aspects of that communalist-anarchist tradition, especially its positive, reconstructive, social analysis. We will examine anarchist visions of society and perspectives on social change as a background to understanding the development of the anarcho-syndicalist movement and the process of social revolution in Spain (culminating in the revolutionary movement of 1936-37 during the Civil War).
