PSC 2400 - WOMEN IN US POLITICS
credits: 3.0
Crosslisted/Same As: WMS 2400
PSC 2400-WMS 2400 . Will examine women in contemporary American politics by first looking to the early foundations of feminist theory and a brief history of the women’s movement. It also examines the differences in behavior between the genders noted in much scholarly work in Political Science. Will conclude with an examination of the role of women in recent American campaigns and asks what the future holds for women in politics. Objectives: A) Demonstrate a knowledge of the underpinnings of contemporary feminist political thought; B) Employ critical thinking and communications skills in discussing the role of women in politics; C) Evaluate the way women in politics are portrayed and treated by the news media; employ critical thinking, the ability to reflect thoughtfully, and to integrate the course material with the world around them through weekly journals and-or their paper; D) Demonstrate through discussion, journals, and the paper a knowledge of how the key women players have been, are, and are likely to be in U.S. politics. Method of Instruction: Lecture and class discussion. Method of Evaluation: Student Journals, a term project, and participation (which takes into account not just the quantity of a student’s involvement, but the quality of it as well as how the student conducts him/herself in the completion of the assigned tasks and is or is not disruptive of the classroom environment).
