This course examines contemporary issues through the lens of different political and ideological perspectives. How do interest groups, social movements, politicians, journalists, social media commentators, bureaucrats, judges and other actors approach the most pressing issues we face today? Where do they agree and disagree? How can we analyze these debates to help us better understand, explain, and predict political events? This course will involve a variety of professors and practitioners, including university alumni, to introduce students to these debates and challenges.
