1 How ethnic, gender, and religious groups have employed education to advance group self-determination and autonomy throughout history. How reformers attempted to impose educational prescriptions on these groups.

2 Concerns central to literary study, comparative study in race and ethnicity, and African and African American Studies as expressed in fiction from Africa, the Caribbean, the U.S., and Hawai’i. Issues include: relations between the West and the Muslim world; class and race in the U.S.; the shift of world populations from rural society to the metropolis; international immigration and refugee situations; and how women’s lives are impacted by society, and how they shape and change it. Opportunities for dialogue with members of local ethnic and religious communities.

3 The formation of ideas about individual and collective identities in S. Africa, W. Europe, and the U.S. Contemporary ideas about identity, including national, racial, ethnic, and gender identity; historical encounters and social transformations linking these areas.

4 Enlightenment theories of tolerance, perpetual peace, popular sovereignty, and general will; focus is on the Geneva philosophers Rousseau and Voltaire. History of major international institutions in Geneva and their relation to Enlightenment ideas: Red Cross, League of Nations, and the UN and subsidiary institutions. Contemporary criticisms of international law and conventions and the viability of Enlightenment ideals in current times.

5 What sorts of considerations does an ethical agent take to be good reasons for action? Work in moral psychology to illuminate the theory of practical reasons, and the theory of practical reasons to test the prospects for systematic moral theory. Can any systematic moral theory be reconciled with the moral psychology of ordinary, morally respectable agents? Readings include Bernard Williams, Rosalind Hursthouse, Peter Railton, T.M. Scanlon, and Barbara Herman.

6 Theoretical and applied issues concerning the administration, operation, and impact of international organizations. Topics include: the UN’s role as a peacekeeper; anti-globalization protestors; the expansion of international organizations; the role and obligations of the U.S.; and the normative implications and tradeoffs of effective supranational governance.

7 The relationship between history and political science as disciplines. Sources include studies by historians and political scientists on topics such as the origins of WWI, the role of nuclear weapons in international politics, the end of the Cold War, nongovernmental organizations in international relations, and change and continuity in the international system.

8 Not listed in the HR professors compilation
