Description

This course addresses the question of how and to what ends people choose a political identity, what it means to them, and what kinds of political commitments follow from it. Drawing on readings from across the disciplines, from fiction and the press, it examines political identity and some of the conflicts it can produce.

Prerequisites

Degree students only, with fewer than 30 credits when they entered UMass Boston. Students may complete only one 100G course (First Year Seminar).
