AS.190.601 (01)	Qualitative Research	W 1:30PM - 3:30PM	Parkinson, Sarah	Mergenthaler 366	Spring 2026	Description: This course introduces students to qualitative research design, data generation practices, and analysis. The class first provides a basic grounding in core concepts related to ethics, reflexivity/positionality, research siting/casing, and sampling. It then familiarizes students with basic data generation methods including interviewing, taking field notes, participant observation & ethnography, participatory action, and archival work. The class then explores different approaches to analysis, including discourse and content analysis, process tracing, and qualitative social network analysis. Instruction covers positivist, interpretivist, and critical approaches. Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 3/12 Tags: n/a
AS.190.635 (01)	Surveys and Survey Experiments	M 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Trump, Kris-Stella	Mergenthaler 366	Spring 2026	Description: This course is a combined graduate-level and upper-level undergraduate introduction to the uses of surveys in the social sciences, with examples primarily drawn from political science. We will examine when and why social scientists choose to use survey methods, discuss questionnaire design and sampling considerations, learn the basics of interpreting survey results, and cover the logic of survey experiments. Throughout the course, we will read and discuss substantive research that uses these methods. This course is a complement (not a substitute) to statistical training. There is no statistical pre-requisite, and students may take the course as a stand-alone methods offering to improve their understanding of literature that uses survey methods. Students who wish to use survey methods in their own projects should also take a separate course on statistical methods, either before, after, or concurrently with this course.

AS.190.642 (01)	Catastrophic and Existential Risks & World Orders	M 4:30PM - 7:00PM	Deudney, Daniel Horace	Mergenthaler 366	Spring 2026	Description: This course focuses on the politics of emerging natural and technogenic catastrophic and existential risks (CAER). The emergence and acceleration of machine-based civilization devoted to the progressive development of science-based technology has produced a fundamentally novel human situation, and the emergence of a horizon of potential disasters, catastrophes and threats to human existence. Some threats, such as super-volcanoes and asteroidal collisions, have purely natural origins. Others, such as nuclear war, bioweapons, nanotechnology, artificial superintelligence, totalitarian government and climate change are anthropogenic. Some, such as geo-engineering, space colonization and asteroidal diversion, appear to be solutions, but may also pose severe, but under-appreciated, threats. International theory is largely unprepared to conceptualize such threats, or suitable solutions to them. Many of the novel technologies have both civil and military applications. Some are increasingly accessible to small non-state actors. Foresight capacities to anticipate negative consequences of new technologies are severely limited, and powerful interests are deeply committed to their largely unhindered development. Several of these technologies may enable the establishment of highly hierarchical world government, and regulatory regimes capable of restraining them may require world government to be effective. The globally hegemonic ideology of Baconian Promethean modernism is strongly committed to unlimited scientific and technological development, making efforts to restrain, regulate or relinquish such technologies very difficult. This course focuses on the contours of these threats, the ways in which they are activated by different political factors, the features of regimes necessary to restrain them, and the implications for world order of these threats and responses to them.

AS.190.643 (01)	Comparative Politics	T 3:00PM - 5:30PM	Teele, Dawn Langan	Mergenthaler 366	Spring 2026	Description: This course offers a graduate-level introduction to the field of comparative politics, focusing on the substantive questions that drive contemporary research. Issues will include: state formation and state capacity; regime typology, democratization, and democratic backsliding; party systems and political behavior; political economy and economic development; racial, ethnic, and religious politics; and revolutions and political violence. Readings include both classic and recent works, selected to help students both prepare for major or minor comprehensive exams and frame their own research projects.

AS.190.644 (01)	Directed Improvisation with AI	T 10:30AM - 12:30PM	Ang, Yuen Yuen	Mergenthaler 366	Spring 2026	Description: This exploratory PhD seminar invites students into the emerging space where human research practices and artificial intelligence begin to intersect. Framed by the concept of directed improvisation, the course treats the human researcher as a director—shaping the conditions and prompts under which AI, like a responsive actor, contributes to the creative process. AI is not approached as a shortcut, a threat, or mere tool, but as a partner in co-creation. The course covers the intellectual history of AI, contemporary debates, and practical applications of AI for research tasks. This is not a course with prepackaged answers. Our goal is to think and practice together, engaging in a range of novel questions that haven’t yet been fully named. Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 6/8 Tags: n/a
AS.190.648 (01)	Writing for Research	Th 9:30AM - 11:30AM	Amat Matus, Consuelo; Simon, Josh David	Mergenthaler 366	Spring 2026	Description: This course is designed to help graduate students in political science craft an original piece of high-quality writing. This class is open to students in their first, second, or third years of the graduate program. We will work on developing the skill of academic writing step by step, focusing first on the question of how to identify and articulate a good question, second on the skill of literature review, third on the art of theoretical engagement, and fourth on the presentation of evidence. During the semester, students may choose to turn a set of interests and questions into a prospectus draft. Alternatively, they may decide to use the class to turn a seminar paper into a dissertation chapter, or a revise a dissertation chapter into an article manuscript. Special sessions will bring other faculty to the class to talk about writing a dissertation and the peer-review process. Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 9/15 Tags: n/a
AS.190.655 (01)	Nietzsche, Foucault, Genealogy	Th 3:00PM - 5:00PM	Brendese, PJ Joseph	Mergenthaler 366	Spring 2026	Description: This political theory graduate seminar explores the political and philosophical stakes of genealogy as initiated and inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault. We shall investigate the contours of genealogy as a scholarly approach to history, the politics of memory, colonialism/empire, the relationship between truth and power, race, sexuality, nature, language and authority. In addition to an encounter with the primary sources of these authors, seminar participants will take up a range of texts/authors whose work has been catalyzed by their innovations--even if those who adopt their scholarly sensibilities do no always necessarily share their politics and geographical points of reference. This will require us to consider their intellectual heirs that span the fascist to the radically democratic; the Anglo-Eurocentric to Indigenous and planetary, and the heteronormative to the gender non-conforming. Beyond Nietzsche and Foucault, authors might include (but not be limited to) Fanon, Brown, Connolly, Dunbar-Ortiz, Derrida, Butler, Hitler, Toscano, and Schmitt.

Mergenthaler 366	Fall 2026	Description: In this course, we will revisit canonical understandings of the American bureaucracy as a provider of public goods and as accountable to elected officials within a system of democratic governance. The course will examine the role and operation of the executive branch bureaucracy across key phases of American political development. In Part I: Expansion, we will examine the role of the bureaucracy in territorial consolidation and the overseas expansion of the American state. In Part II: Removals, we will examine the role of the bureaucracy in managing populations. In Part III: Surveillance, we will examine the role of the bureaucracy in monitoring and surveilling citizens and noncitizens alike. Credits: 3.00 Status: Open Seats Available: 4/5 Tags: POLI-AP
AS.190.622 (01)	Critical Infrastructure	Th 2:00PM - 4:00PM	Phillips, Chas.	Mergenthaler 366	Fall 2026	Description: As Lauren Berlant notes, any fantasies of moving unimpeded in the world is shattered when we find ourselves unavoidably in relation to one another, entangled with one another’s everyday life. Broadly construed, ‘infrastructure’ is the amorphous and dynamic web of elements that governs the way we navigate this condition; it is the tissue that connects places, bodies, emotions, and communities. As such, it constitutes much of what makes our lives livable and/or unbearable. This seminar explores the ways in which a capaciously interpreted concept of infrastructure(s): mediates social life; reflects, asserts, and reifies power relations; and reproduces, amplifies, or mitigates conditions of inequality and violence. We will critically analyze physical, social, and personal infrastructures and reflect on their interconnected relations. We will also speculatively theorize the construction of ‘counter-infrastructures’ that might rework these ambivalent conditions of attachment and violence. Concepts to be considered will include redlining, bike paths, housing, libraries, parks, transit, architecture, biopolitics, mutual aid, care of the self, and mindfulness.

AS.190.629 (01)	American Racial Politics	T 10:00AM - 12:00PM	Spence, Lester		Fall 2026	Description: Race is not a biological fact but rather a social construction. However, it is a social construction with very real consequences. Definitions of citizenship, allocation of state resources, attitudes about government and government policy, the creation of government policy, all shape and are shaped by race and racial classifications. Serving as a critical corrective to American politics treatments that ignore race, this class will examine how race functions politically in the United States. While not required, some knowledge of statistics is helpful. Credits: 3.00 Status: Open Seats Available: 13/15 Tags: n/a
AS.190.657 (01)	War, the State, and the Transnational Foundations of Conventional Violence	T 10:00AM - 12:00PM	Schmidt, Sebastian	Mergenthaler 366	Fall 2026	Description: We are used to thinking of the state and war as fairly self-evident concepts and as the bedrock of so much work, not only in academic international relations, but also in policy discourse. It seems straightforward that states wage war, and war in turn may make or break states. Under conditions of rapidly advancing globalization, however, the relationship of these concepts is anything but straightforward. This class builds on historical investigations into state formation, the relationship of the military instrument to the state, the progressive globalization of the defense industrial base, the changing practices of military establishments, and related phenomena to question notions of state and security and to better understand the past and present fault lines of conflict.

AS.190.684 (01)	War and Empire in World Politics	W 12:00PM - 2:00PM	Barkawi, Tarak Karim	Mergenthaler 366	Fall 2026	Description: This course explores the intersection between war and empire in world politics, past and present. It conceives world politics as a space of co-constitution and war or violent conflict as a form of social interconnection. The premise of the course is that imperial warfare and violence have been generative forces in shaping world politics, well beyond the times and places of specific battles and killings. The course considers armed conflict in imperial context from colonial “small war” through to the War on Terror. It looks at how warfare shapes (and is shaped by) the societies, cultures and polities that populate world politics. The course considers also some of the intellectual traditions that have arisen out of the experience of, and inquiry into, colonial violence, from the thought of resistance leaders to subaltern and postcolonial studies. The course consists primarily of book length texts and the principal assignment will be a term paper which puts a set of these books in conversation with one another.

AS.213.702 (01)	Aesthetic Judgment, Political Agency: Kant to Kafka	T 3:00PM - 5:00PM	Frey, Christiane	Gilman 443	Fall 2026	Description: Following Hannah Arendt’s seminal claim that Kant’s “Critique of Judgment” contains his unwritten political philosophy, this seminar investigates how the structure of aesthetic judgment defines the possibilities of political agency. We begin with Kant’s aesthetic theory and Arendt’s “Lectures on Kant” to understand how the ability to think from the standpoint of others constitutes the core of the political. Through this lens, we trace the genealogy of aesthetics from Baumgarten’s sensuous cognition to Herder’s empathy, Schiller’s aesthetic education, and Novalis’ poetics of the state. The course then examines exemplary and radical challenges to these models: the fanaticism of justice in Kleist’s “Michael Kohlhaas,” the aesthetic appeal for social justice in Bettina von Arnim’s “This Book Belongs to the King,” the fragmented political consciousness in Virginia Woolf’s “Three Guineas,” the transition from disinterested distance to radical attention in Simone Weil, and finally, the law as inscrutable form in Kafka’s “The Trial.” Readings include: Baumgarten, Kant, Herder, Schiller, Novalis, Kleist, Arnim, Arendt, Weil, Woolf, and Kafka.
