PO 299 - Identity in Politics


This course studies the uses and abuses of identity in political life. Specifically, it examines how identities, voluntarily chosen or ascriptively assigned, form the basis of inclusion as full members or exclusion as half- or non-members in democratic polities. The central axis of study is national identity, and we seek to understand how this identity is constructed with reference to gender, class, race, nationality, culture, religion, etc.
