AS.010.327 (01)	Asia America: Art and Architecture	MW 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Brown, Rebecca Mary	Gilman 177	Spring 2026	Description: This course examines a set of case studies spanning the last century that will enable us to explore the shifting landscape of Asian transnational art and architecture. Each week will focus on a different artist, group, exhibition, architect, urban space, or site to unpack artistsʼ and architectsʼ engagements with the changing landscape of immigration policies, movements to build solidarity with other artists of color, and campaigns for gender and sexual equality. The course will situate these artists within American art, and build an expansive idea of Asia America to include the discussion of artists whose work directly addresses fluidity of location and transnational studio practice.

AS.070.311 (01)	Argot Workshop: Student Publishing from Start to Finish	M 4:30PM - 7:00PM	Maddox, Perry	Mergenthaler 426	Spring 2026	Description: Are you interested in learning how to design and run a student journal? Do you have a piece of writing you would like to prepare for a public-facing platform? If so, then join us for the Argot workshop. We will revitalize the JHU undergraduate anthropology journal, featuring work from students in the humanities and social sciences at Hopkins and beyond. In the workshop, students will engage with every aspect of the publication process, including soliciting submissions, reviewing and editing articles, and creating and designing the online platform. Students enrolled in the workshop will also submit one piece of work to be published in the journal. With that in mind, we ask that each student enter the workshop with a piece of writing they would like to see through to publication. This could be an essay from another course, a research project, or a visual or multimedia work (with a writing component). During the semester, students will work on their own submissions, provide editorial guidance for others, and design, create, and publicize the journal. The journal will be published online at the end of the semester, creating a concrete opportunity for student work to reach a wider audience.

AS.100.274 (01)	Conspiracy in American Politics	TTh 9:00AM - 10:15AM	Luff, Jennifer D	Gilman 17	Spring 2026	Description: Conspiratorial thinking is nothing new in American politics. Since the founding of the nation, Americans have been riveted—and riven—by conspiracy theories. This course introduces students to key methods and questions in U.S. history by exploring conspiratorial episodes from the American Revolution through the present. We’ll pick apart allegations and denials of conspiracies to discover what they tell us about American politics and culture. We’ll also consider historians’ analyses of conspiratorial claims, and think about the relationship between conspiracy and historical causality.

AS.190.301 (01)	Political Science as Public Good	TTh 9:00AM - 10:15AM	Spence, Lester	Shaffer 202	Spring 2026	Description: What role does political science play in a time of significant government transformation? What role should it play? This class will combine a public engagement practicum with a deep dive into the history of political science as a discipline. Political science was designed at the outset with both empirical and normative goals in mind. What were these empirical and normative goals? How have they shaped the discipline today? Students should have taken courses in the department before and have some interest in using the tools of the discipline to understand our current condition.

AS.190.305 (01)	Human Rights as a Practice, Weapon, and Symbol	TTh 9:00AM - 10:15AM	Ross, Andrew	Gilman 75	Spring 2026	Description: This course studies the complexity of international human rights as a vehicle for political change. The course approaches human rights as a set of legal instruments and practices, but also as a flexible political and symbolic toolbox used to address sometimes very divergent claims to justice. It pays attention to the roles of states, as well as the growing authority of human rights organizations, institutions, and online networks. We begin with a survey of major international human rights instruments before using a series of case studies to better understand how those instruments are used in practice. Rather than assume that human rights are always effective and benevolent, we set out to consider which kinds of policies they enable and which they foreclose. Cases also raise questions about the universality of human rights across cultural settings and demand critical reflection on how human rights function in North-South relations. The course draws from research aimed at improving the practice of human rights, as well as perspectives approaching human rights as instruments of power.

AS.190.331 (01)	America and the World	TTh 1:30PM - 2:45PM	Schmidt, Sebastian	Gilman 377	Spring 2026	Description: This course examines the unique position of the United States in world politics. We will briefly survey the broader international relations literature on the dynamics of power and influence in world politics and work through empirics related to American foreign policy. The course will encompass security politics as well as the economic, monetary, and ideational dimensions of American influence. Interested students must have completed at least one 100 or 200 level introductory course in international relations. Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 4/19 Tags: INST-AP, INST-IR, CES-FT
AS.190.337 (01)	Politics of the Korean Diaspora	T 4:00PM - 6:30PM	Chung, Erin	Krieger 308	Spring 2026	Description: This seminar explores some of the core questions in the study of citizenship, migration, and racial and ethnic politics through the lens of Korean diasporic populations in the United States, Japan, China, and the former Soviet Union. We will examine how immigration, citizenship, and minority policies have structured and constrained the relationship of Korean communities to both the receiving and sending states. As a diasporic group, is there a collective self-identification among members of Korean communities that transcends territorial, hemispheric, linguistic, and cultural differences? Or is the Korean ethnic identity more a reflection of racial and ethnic politics in the receiving society? What factors determine the assimilability of a particular group at a given historical moment? Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 1/12 Tags: INST-CP, CDS-MB, POLI-CP
AS.190.346 (01)	Foundations of International Relations Theory	TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Schmidt, Sebastian	Gilman 377	Spring 2026	Description: This course is a broad conceptual introduction to international relations theory in a format that stresses close reading and critical discussion. We will explore mainstream theoretical perspectives and critiques of those perspectives, as well as more recent developments in the field. By the end of the course, students will have a firm grasp of the core issues and debates in the field. The course is conceptually demanding; interested students should have at least completed an introductory course in political science.

AS.190.347 (01)	A New Cold War? Sino-American Relations in the 21st Century	W 1:30PM - 4:00PM	David, Steven R	Smokler Center Library	Spring 2026	Description: “Can the United States and China avoid a new Cold War? One might think not given disputes over the South China Sea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, human rights, trade, ideology and so much more. Moreover, competition for influence in the developing world and American concerns as to whether China will replace it as the preeminent world power suggest a new Cold War is in the offing. Nevertheless, their extensive economic ties and need to work together to solve common problems such as climate change, nuclear proliferation, and pandemics argues against a continuing confrontation. This course will examine whether cooperation or conflict will define Sino-American relations, and whether a new Cold War—or even a shooting war—lies in the future.” Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 0/15 Tags: INST-IR, CES-FT, CES-LSO
AS.190.358 (01)	Liberal Education: A Contested Question	T 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Shilliam, Robbie; Storey, Benjamin	Shaffer 303	Spring 2026	Description: What is liberal education, and what should it be? If such an education liberates, what does it liberate from? How does that liberation happen? What virtues does liberal education cultivate? What are its characteristic pitfalls? How does liberal education relate to the contemporary debates of political life, and how might it serve the public good? This course, co-taught by a professor of postcolonial politics at Johns Hopkins University and a conservative scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, will bring together divergent perspectives around a set of landmark texts about liberal education for a common conversation, engaging with enduring questions and contemporary political controversies.

AS.190.411 (01)	The Politics of Political Surveillance	Th 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Luff, Jennifer D	Krieger 306	Spring 2026	Description: Mass political surveillance is a hallmark of modern life. All contemporary regimes practice some form of surveillance. Yet the politics of surveillance vary. This seminar investigates the technologies, purposes, and significance of political surveillance in the 20th century in different polities. We will explore perspectives on surveillance from various approaches—historical, sociological, anthropological, and in political science.

AS.190.420 (01)	From Polycrisis to Polytunity	M 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Ang, Yuen Yuen	Krieger 304	Spring 2026	Description: Around the world, people speak of living through a “polycrisis”—a time when overlapping disruptions create fear and paralysis. In this course, Prof. Yuen Yuen Ang invites you to flip the script: from polycrisis to polytunity, seeing disruption as a portal to new possibilities. Polytunity opens into Ang’s broader paradigm, AIM (Adaptive, Inclusive, Moral) Political Economy, which builds on her earlier works (How China Escaped the Poverty Trap, China’s Gilded Age). Together we’ll explore AIM’s three pillars: Adaptive (systems not machine thinking), Inclusive (diverse pathways, not one template), and Moral (ideas are shaped by power and positionality)—and trace how they can inspire both new research agendas and real-world applications across a range of fields. We’ll see how Ang’s “ideational forest” grows from roots to canopy, offering a generative compass for navigating our age of disruption.

AS.190.430 (01)	Surveys and Survey Experiments	M 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Trump, Kris-Stella	Mergenthaler 366	Spring 2026	Description: This course is a combined upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level 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.190.440 (01)	European Politics in Comparative Perspective	T 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Jabko, Nicolas	Krieger 306	Spring 2026	Description: Despite the periodic resurgence of war on its periphery, Europe can easily appear as a pacified and relatively boring continent. This course will question this stereotype through an examination of European politics in historical and cross-national perspective. We will discuss central concepts that comparative politics scholars mobilize in the study of European politics across time and space. Topics will include: political, legal, and economic governance; the evolution of democracy, the welfare state, partisan politics, citizenship, and identities; European integration and globalization.

AS.190.478 (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.191.329 (01)	Spectral Futures: Black Temporality, Power, and the Politics of Liberation	TTh 1:30PM - 2:45PM	Smith, T	Gilman 400	Spring 2026	Description: How have Black communities practiced resistance, reimagined the future, and reshaped the politics of time? This course explores Black political behavior and resistance through the lens of Afrofuturism and alternative temporalities. Students will examine how conventional notions of time and progress have been used to reinforce power and inequity, and how Black political action, cultural production, and speculative imagination challenge these structures. Drawing on political theory, cultural texts, and Afrofuturist thought, we will investigate the strategies, visions, and practices that open new possibilities for political agency, collective memory, and visions of liberation and Black futurity.

AS.192.404 (01)	Autocracy, Democracy and Development: Korea, Indonesia and Myanmar	M 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Dore, Giovanna Maria Dora	Gilman 119	Spring 2026	Description: East Asia’s “miracle growth” has not gone hand in hand with a decisive move toward democracy. Over the last 30 years, only eight East Asian countries have become democratic out of more than 60 countries worldwide, and they continue to struggle with the challenges of democratic consolidation, weak political governance, and limited citizens’ political engagement. This course explores the reasons why democratization proceeds slowly in East Asia, and seems to be essentially decoupled from the region’s fast-paced economic growth. The choice of Korea, Indonesia, and Myanmar as the case studies for this course results from their authoritarian past as well as their more recent institutional and political trajectories towards democracy.Contact instructor if prerequisites are not met.

AS.192.430 (01)	Emotional States in International Politics	TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Ross, Andrew	Shriver Hall 104	Spring 2026	Description: This course explores the role of emotions in international politics. Claims about shared emotion—including but not limited to fear, anger, guilt, humiliation, and compassion—are frequently woven into the public images and foreign policy narratives of states. This course reflects on who is making such claims, why, how, and to what effect. We begin with consideration of enduring puzzles in international relations, including the idea of the state as rational actor and the central role of fear under international anarchy, as well as a series of more recent, cross-disciplinary frameworks designed to understand states as sites and objects of emotional politics. The bulk of the course then engages with a series of closer studies on topics of contemporary significance; these topics may include: contestation over historical memory and collective trauma, performances of emotion in diplomatic summits, struggles for recognition and status, narratives of national decline, conspiracy theories and foreign policy, the role of humor and insult in foreign policy discourse, and the rise of populism and nativism.

AS.196.301 (01)	Social Entrepreneurship and Democratic Erosion	MW 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Warren, Scott L	Hodson 301	Spring 2026	Description: This course will explore the dynamics and interplay between social entrepreneurship, social change, and policy. Students will explore this specific moment in our democracy, and contextualize erosion happening in international and domestic contexts. The course will examine the intersection between social change and policy change, examining how the two concepts intersect while focusing on the end goal of systems change and furthering democracy. Students will examine different case studies of social transformation (or proposed social transformation) from across the United States and world. Guest speakers will include diverse practitioners of social entrepreneurship who think about long-term pathways to transformative social change, and dynamic policymakers. While the course will include case studies on broader domestic and international challenges and models of democratic erosion, a larger focus will be on specific local social problems and solutions. This will manifest through class discussions and a final project based on the surrounding community. Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 0/30 Tags: AGRI-ELECT, CES-CC

AS.211.438 (01)	On Tyranny: Theory, Literature, History	W 1:00PM - 3:30PM	Frey, Christiane; Roller, Matthew	Gilman 108	Spring 2026	Description: Despotism, authoritarianism, autocracy, dictatorship: the terms for tyranny are legion. But what exactly do we mean by tyranny, and how are we to understand it? This seminar will explore what literature, philosophy, and political theory, ancient and modern, have to say about both this (protean) concept and its many historically charged avatars. A deeper look into the history of “tyranny” reveals unexpected complexities, from affirmative uses of the term to radical critiques. To better understand this complex history and what it is we mean when we oppose political repression today, we will read classic works from political theory, philosophy, and literature (e.g. Plato’s “Apology of Socrates,” “Republic” VIII-IX; Xenophon’s “Hiero”; Livy’s “Ab Urbe Condita” 1-2; Seneca the Younger’s “De Clementia”), early modern (e.g. Machiavelli’s “Prince”; La Boétie’s “On Voluntary Servitude”; Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”; Schiller’s “Fiesco”) and modern works (e.g. Strauss on Xenophon, followed by Kojève’s Commentary; Arendt’s “Origins of Totalitarianism”).

AS.305.288 (01)	The Aesthetics of Resistance	TTh 3:00PM - 4:15PM	Todarello, Josh	Krieger 307	Spring 2026	Description: This course surveys the stories and storytellers of key moments of resistance or revolution, such as the 1848 Revolutions, the Haitian Revolution, the 1968 Student Movement, Occupy, Arab Spring, and Women Life Freedom. We will critically examine how such moments are, or become, narratives and how, as such, they may or may not acquire afterlives. To this end we will investigate a variety of materials, produced from a variety of points of view: the press, participants, observers, commentators, instigators, theorists, and those reconstructing the events after the fact as histories or fictions. Key themes include notions of personhood, citizenship, solidarity, equality, and futurity, as well as the aesthetics of how social uprisings are represented in a variety of media. Readings might include texts by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Alejo Carpentier, C.L.R James, Peter Weiss, Manuel Puig, Carlos Fuentes, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Audre Lorde, Joshua Clover, and others.

AS.190.181 (85)	Introduction to Political Theory: Power and Authority	MTW 1:00PM - 3:20PM	Brendese, PJ Joseph	Online	Summer 2026	Description: This course provides an introduction to Western political theory, focusing on theories and practices of power and authority. We will examine the extent to which it is possible to describe, theorize, and make visible how political power operates, and power's relationship to authority, knowledge, truth, and political freedom. A strong tradition of political thought argues that people's consent is what makes political power legitimate. But what if one of the most insidious workings of power is its ability to prevent us from telling the difference between consent and coercion? Can power allow certain authorities to effectively brainwash people? If so, does that mean that those who obey authority should no longer be held politically responsible for their actions? Does the coercive power of norms and conformity prevent any robust practice of freedom? What role (if any) should state power play in negotiating questions of morality, religion and sexuality? Lastly, we will be haunted by a related question: can political theories of power make people free, or are those theories implicated in the very coercion they profess to oppose? Classes will be a combination of lectures, critical discussions/debates, film screenings and presentations. Throughout the term, you will sharpen your ability to formulate coherent written and spoken arguments by organizing and supporting your thoughts in a persuasive manner. An important part of this skill will include the ability to wrestle with complex and controversial political problems that lack any single answer. The stakes of these problems will be brought to life by the political examples we will study, and made legible by looking through the theoretical lenses of diverse thinkers.

AS.191.215 (11)	The Idea of America	TTh 1:00PM - 4:30PM	Lester, Quinn A	Wyman Park N105	Summer 2026	Description: On the 250th anniversary of the United States declaring independence, what does America mean today for its citizens and the world? What did it mean at the time of its birth, and how has the idea of what America represents changed over its history? Through these questions this course introduces students to the wide-ranging history of American Political Thought and its grappling with the essential ideas of America: its people, its laws, its culture, and its history. Chronologically, this course covers from the colonial period and the revolutionary founding of the U.S. to current urgent questions about the possible futures of American democracy. In between, students will learn about the growth of a mass democratic culture, the impact of slavery on American definitions of freedom and good government, the impact of industrialization and the U.S. becoming a global power, and the relationship between social movements for progress and reaction during the Cold War. Taking account of these historical legacies, students by the end of the course will be fully equipped to address the question of what America means today on its 250th birthday for the world.

AS.001.100 (01)	FYS: What is the Common Good?	T 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Watters, Aliza	Greenhouse 113	Fall 2026	Description: What is “the common good”? How do individuals consider this idea, this question, and how are societies led, or misled, by its pursuit? Together, we will explore sources from a range of perspectives: What does Aristotle’s theory of the common good teach us? Or the Federalist Papers, the design of Baltimore’s public transportation system, meritocracy in higher education, the perniciousness of pandemics, proliferation of nuclear weapons, restorative justice, or intimate love? Drawing from film, journal articles, literature, and other sources—authors/creators include Rachel Carson, James Baldwin, Bong Joon-ho, Jhumpa Lahiri, Michael Sandel, and more—this First-Year Seminar is as much about how we ask and interrogate challenging, timeless questions as it is about the answers themselves. Engaging our material and each other, we will work together to hone the habits of scholarly inquiry essential to this practice: reading, writing, talking. The seminar will culminate in a final, collaborative research project that seeks to map, and manifest, versions of the common good. Credits: 3.00 Status: Open Seats Available: 12/12 Tags: n/a

Even silence makes manifest the power of speech. This First-Year Seminar will introduce you to some of the ways that power has been described and thought about. In addition to studying arguments that connect the power of speech to what it means to be human, we will explore various attempts both to protect and limit speech, taking into consideration not only how we do things with words but how words affect us. Topics that will be covered include freedom of speech, censorship, hate speech, talking back, silence, and storytelling. We will read texts in philosophy, political science, law, and literature, and we will watch at least one film or play. While we discuss the power of speech, we will also reflect on the ways in which discussion fosters a community. In other words, the experience of our discussion is a topic for our conversation. First-Year Seminars are designed to encourage “meaningful civil exchange among students across disciplinary interests and backgrounds” as well as to “foster early, sustained faculty-student interaction and mentorship.” We will talk about how such seminars are supposed to work and how they may (or may not) realize their goals. Reading, analyzing, and discussing the texts assigned in this course will help us develop foundational critical thinking skills; how might these activities also establish a sense of (group) identity?

In the search for ideal ways to make certain kinds of political decisions, a lot of wasted effort could be averted if mathematics could determine that finding such an ideal were actually possible in the first place. The seminar will analyze data from recent US elections as well as provide historical context to modern discussions in politics, culminating in a mathematical analysis of the US Electoral College. Case studies, future implications, and comparisons to other governing bodies outside the US will be used to apply the theory of the course. Students will use Microsoft Excel to analyze data sets. There are no mathematical prerequisites for this course. Credits: 3.00 Status: Open Seats Available: 12/12 Tags: n/a

From Hammurabi of Babylon (and earlier!) to Alexander the Great, students will be introduced to the history and culture of the pre-modern Middle East and will study in translation primary sources such as royal inscriptions, law collections, treaties, and diplomatic correspondence. We will consider issues such as how diplomacy and conflict both reflect and constrain political structures; what aspects of diplomatic life are found throughout the early Middle East and what are particular to various cultures; similarly, what aspects of diplomatic life change over the millennia and what aspects endure; and even how we can talk about international relations in a pre-modern world without “nations.” Credits: 3.00 Status: Open Seats Available: 12/12 Tags: ARCH-RELATE, HIST-LAW
AS.001.210 (01)	FYS: Democratic Erosion	M 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Warren, Scott L	Gilman 381	Fall 2026	Description: This First-Year Seminar explores how political polarization reshapes democratic norms, institutions, and identities, with particular attention to young people as both products and agents of democratic erosion. The course examines how and why democracies weaken, and how leaders are using democracy to erode democracy. Students will explore questions like: What is democratic erosion, and how is it different from previous forms of authoritarianism? When does polarization cross the line from healthy conflict to democratic decay? How do identity, belonging, and moral certainty shape citizens’ willingness to accept democratic rules? Why do young people often distrust institutions while still believing in democratic ideals—and what does that mean for democracy’s future? Students will engage with a mix of accessible political science, journalism, and primary sources, including case studies from the United States and abroad; survey data on polarization, trust, and youth attitudes; media coverage and social-media content; and short philosophical and historical texts on democracy, legitimacy, and civic responsibilities. The seminar emphasizes active discussion and debate. Students will analyze real-world political controversies, participate in structured debates, and reflect on how polarization shapes their own political identities. Short writing assignments and a final project will ask students to assess whether democracies can be repaired—and what role their generation might play.

AS.001.254 (01)	FYS: Passion and Politics	TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Ross, Andrew	Greenhouse 113	Fall 2026	Description: This First-Year Seminar examines the significance of passions, or emotions, in contemporary political life. It aims to understand the risks and possibilities associated with emotion, and to reflect critically on how debates over political inclusion and exclusion, justice and injustice are informed by emotions—real and imagined. We will consider questions such as: How did “reason” become stripped of passion and elevated as a foundational ideal in modern, liberal societies? Why and when are emotional forms of political expression and conduct accepted, and when are they demonized? How and when do public expressions of fear inspire measures to protect national security? Under what conditions does anger fuel struggles for justice? What, if anything, is different about how passions operate within populist political parties and movements? And how are human experiences of emotion changing in algorithmically driven public spaces? Such questions will allow us to secure footholds in contemporary political environments often densely populated with impassioned rhetoric, backlash dynamics, and public fascination with political scandal, provocation, and conspiracy. We draw on some canonical texts in political thought before moving into multidisciplinary readings on moral psychology and the contemporary politics of emotion. Students will also have the opportunity to gather and assess emotional “artifacts” from contemporary political discourse. Topics for the seminar include: the politics of fear; anger and justice; populism and resentment; algorithms and attention; and the politics of paranoia and conspiracy.

AS.061.201 (01)	Intermediate Digital Production: Mitigation Video	Th 10:00AM - 1:00PM	Bae, Wonjung	The Centre 218	Fall 2026	Description: In this course, you will produce a 7–10 minute mitigation video to be used in a Maryland resentencing hearing as part of the state’s Decarceration Initiative. Working in a two-person Maysles-style camera/mic unit ideally one film student and one social science student as a team, you will collaborate with Maryland Office of the Public Defender attorneys and social workers to interview an incarcerated client inside a correctional facility, document the lives of their family and community members, and craft a character-driven narrative grounded in care, accuracy, and ethical responsibility. The class is designed to conduct an intensive 10-day production outside of class consisting of: 1 day Orientation at the Baltimore City Office of the Public Defender + 2 days on-site pre-production + 4 days Primary filming + 2 days Pick-up shoots + 1 day Community screening for fact-checking and final consent. Throughout the semester, you will complete weekly production assignments, maintain professional communication with stakeholders, and develop a legal, sociological, and human understanding of how individual life histories are shaped by structural forces such as race, class, policing, and incarceration. Students who have completed at least one of the following will be given priority: AS.061.150, AS.061.152, AS.100.423, AS.220.213, AS.362.204, AS.362.127, AS.191.365, AS.145.360, AS.360.111, AS.060.315, AS.362.115, AS.362.335, AS.190.300.

How have those principles been debated? To what extent have the institutions and practices of American government aimed to embody those principles? And how well have they succeeded in that aim? In this course, we consider these questions from two distinct angles. First, by reading historical texts, we will learn how the people that participated in or observed the colonization of North America, the American Revolution, the framing of the US Constitution, the Civil War, the Progressive Era, the Civil Rights Movement, the Women’s Rights Movement, and the modern conservative movement understood themselves and their actions. Second, by reading contemporary scholarship on the origins and evolution of the American political order, we will try to discern patterns of stability and change that emerge in concert with, or even despite, the ideas and intentions of influential individuals and powerful groups. Throughout the course, we examine the relationship between political institutions, individual incentives and group solidarities, and political ideas. By the end of the course, students will improve their grasp on the history of our political present and, perhaps, gain a better sense of how their actions can influence our political future.

Of course, presidential history includes both ups and downs, some coinciding with the rise and fall of national party systems and others linked to specific problems, issues, and personalities. We should train our analytic eyes, however, to see beneath the surface of day-to-day and even decade-to-decade political turbulence. We should focus, instead, on the pronounced secular trend of more than two and a quarter centuries of American history. Two hundred years ago, presidents were weak and often bullied by Congress. Today, presidents are powerful and often thumb their noses at Congress and the courts. For better or worse, we have entered a presidentialist era.

AS.190.304 (01)	Latinos and the American Political Landscape	MW 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Bautista-Chavez, Angie M.	Gilman 119	Fall 2026	Description: This course examines Latinos and the American political landscape – taking seriously the political lives of Latinos to sharpen accounts of American political development. In Part I: Latinos and American Empire, we will examine how American state building, American racial capitalism, and American empire created a varied set of racialized citizenship regimes that shaped the legality and membership of Latinos – depending on the interplay between domestic racial hierarchies and international projects. In Part II: Latinos and the Administrative State, we will examine how the regulation of Latino immigrants and asylum seekers from Latin America and the Caribbean have been an engine for American political development – including the making of border bureaucracies, networked policing that harnesses the institution of federalism, and the development of ocean-spanning detention infrastructure. In Part III: Latinos as Targets, we will examine how Latinos became racialized as ‘illegals’ and became the prime targets of state action – and how state efforts have led to the suppressing of political agency, mobilization of collective action, and even integration of Latinos into the enforcement apparatus. In Part IV: Latinos, Hierarchies, and Power, we will examine the political power of those most marginalized among the Latino population – including Black, Trans, Queer, Immigrant, and Undocumented Latinos – to learn about how these groups contend with intragroup and intergroup hierarchies, their role in intersectional movements, and their organizing under repressive conditions. In Part V: Latinos and Placemaking, we conclude with Latino placemaking across the United States to examine how Latinos – in relation with and to, and in coalition with Black, Indigenous, and Asian organizing – are cultivating and asserting political and policy influence in the face of climate change, policing, detention, and gentrification.

AS.190.308 (01)	Democracy and Dictatorship: Theory and Cases	TTh 1:30PM - 2:45PM	Mazzuca, Sebastian L	Gilman 413	Fall 2026	Description: The course will cover three topics: 1) The conceptualization of political regime, democracy and authoritarianism. We will also consider neighboring concepts of other macro-political structures—government, state, and administration—in order to be able to demarcate what is distinctive about the study of political regimes. 2) The characterization of political regimes in most Western and some non-Western countries, in history and today. We will centrally focus on the so called “Waves of Democratization,” but we will also consider stories with less happy outcomes, that is, processes that led to the breakdown of democracies and the installation of repressive dictatorships. 3) The explanation(s) of the stability and change of political regimes around the world. Theoretical accounts of regime change come in many flavors—emphasis on economic versus political causes, focus on agents and choices versus structures and constraints, international versus domestic factors, among others. We will consider most of them. Credits: 3.00 Status: Waitlist Only Seats Available: 0/15 Tags: INST-CP, POLI-CP

AS.190.379 (01)	Nationalism and the Politics of Identity	M 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Kocher, Matthew Adam	Gilman 75	Fall 2026	Description: Nationalism ties powerful organizations to political mobilization, territory, and individual loyalty. Yet nationalism is typically studied in isolation from other social formations that depend upon organizational – individual linkages. Alternative types of identity category sometimes depend similarly upon organizations that collect and deploy resources, mobilize individuals, erect boundaries, and promote strong emotional connections among individuals as well as between individuals and institutions. In this class, we study classic and contemporary works on nationalism, drawn from multiple disciplinary and analytic traditions, in the comparative context of alternative forms of identity. The focus of the class will be primarily theoretical, with no regional or temporal limitations.

AS.190.397 (01)	The Politics of International Law	TTh 9:00AM - 10:15AM	Ross, Andrew	Gilman 186	Fall 2026	Description: This course introduces students of politics to international law. We will explore historical roots and current problems, recognizing along the way persistent contestation over the participants, sources, purposes, and interests associated with international law. The course situates formal aspects of law—centered on international treaties, international organizations, the World Court (ICJ), and the International Criminal Court (ICC)—within a broader field of global governance consisting of treaty-based and customary law, states and transnational actors, centralized and decentralized forms of legal authority. We will place special emphasis on the significance of international law to colonialism, decolonization, and contemporary forms of imperialism, keeping in mind that the law has been experienced differently in the Global South and by actors not recognized as sovereign by states in positions of power. Students will be exposed to a range of approaches, including rational choice, various species of legalism, process-oriented theories, critical legal studies, and postcolonial critiques.

AS.190.402 (01)	Environmental Racism	W 2:00PM - 4:30PM	Brendese, PJ Joseph	Mergenthaler 366	Fall 2026	Description: This course is an advanced undergraduate political theory seminar that examines the disproportionate impact of environmental destruction on racially stigmatized populations. Environmental racism has largely been understood in terms of environmental policy-making that discriminates against people of color, particularly with respect to the state-sanctioned siting of toxic waste facilities, the distribution of pollutants, food-deserts, and the exclusion of non-white peoples from leading positions in the environmental movement. In this seminar, we will explore environmental racism more broadly, pushing beyond its conventional, place-based understandings and approaching the corresponding logics that produce human disposability and environmental waste from the standpoint of both space and time. Examining colonial legacies of coding racial others in terms natural disasters, epidemics, infestations, non-human animals, and dirt, we shall investigate how the natural world is subjected to exploitation and domination in tandem with the subordination of racial subjects historically identified with nature and rendered expendable. In other words, we shall illuminate the logics of power through which race-making coincides with waste-making. Accordingly, we will explore political and theoretical challenges to environmental racism in multiple registers, such as those posed by Indigenous communities, decolonial thinkers and Afro-diasporic theories contesting the intersection of racial biopolitics and ecological crises.

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 this course, we will engage with the major debates around racial politics in the United States, with a substantial focus on how policies and practices of citizenship, immigration law, social provision, and criminal justice policy shaped and continue to shape racial formation, group-based identities, and group position; debates around the content and meaning of political representation and the responsiveness of the political system to American minority groups; debates about how racial prejudice has shifted and its importance in understanding American political behavior; the prospects for contestation or coalitions among groups; the “struggle with difference” within groups as they deal with the interplay of race and class, citizenship status, and issues that disproportionately affect a subset of their members; and debates about how new groups and issues are reshaping the meaning and practice of race in the United States.

AS.190.438 (01)	Violence and Politics	W 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Ginsberg, Benjamin	Ames 218	Fall 2026	Description: This seminar will address the role of violence–both domestic and international–in political life. Though most claim to abhor violence, since the advent of recorded history, violence and politics have been intimately related. States practice violence against internal and external foes. Political dissidents engage in violence against states. Competing political forces inflict violence upon one another. Writing in 1924, Winston Churchill declared–and not without reason–that, "The story of the human race is war." Indeed, violence and the threat of violence are the most potent forces in political life. It is, to be sure, often averred that problems can never truly be solved by the use of force. Violence, the saying goes, is not the answer. This adage certainly appeals to our moral sensibilities. But whether or not violence is the answer presumably depends upon the question being asked. For better or worse, it is violence that usually provides the most definitive answers to three of the major questions of political life--statehood, territoriality and power. Violent struggle, in the form of war, revolution, civil war, terrorism and the like, more than any other immediate factor, determines what states will exist and their relative power, what territories they will occupy, and which groups will and will not exercise power within them.

AS.190.475 (01)	America in Comparative and International Perspective	T 4:30PM - 7:00PM	Deudney, Daniel Horace	Krieger 304	Fall 2026	Description: Over the last quarter millennium, the United States of America has been the most successful state in world politics. It has had the world’s largest economy since 1870, and was on the winning side of the three great world struggles of the 20th century. During these struggles, the fate of liberal capitalist democracy in the world has been closely connected with the rise and success of the USA. This course examines the rise and impacts of the USA in comparative and international perspective. What factors account for the success of the USA during the late modern era? How has the rise and influence of the USA shaped world politics? The course focuses on the causes, consequences and possible alternatives of three founding moments (1776-88, 1861-67 and 1933-36), the role of wars against illiberal adversaries in strengthening American liberal national identity, the ways in which the internal logics of the Philadelphian states-union (1787-1861) and the liberal international order among advanced industrial democracies (1945-) as alternatives to Westphalian state-systems, the role and consequences of the US as an anti-imperial power, and the internal dual between liberal America dedicated to the Founding principles and an ‘alt-America’ of slavery and white supremacy.

It will then examine the period of the Arab-Israeli wars of 1956, 1967, 1973, and 1982, the Palestinian Intifadas (1987-1993 and 2000-2005); and the development of the Arab-Israeli peace process from its beginnings with the Egyptian-Israeli treaty of 1979, the Oslo I and Oslo II agreements of 1993 and 1995, Israel's peace treaty with Jordan of 1994, the Road Map of 2003; and the periodic peace talks between Israel and Syria. The conflict will be analyzed against the background of great power intervention in the Middle East, the rise of political Islam and the dynamics of Intra-Arab politics, and will consider the impact of the Arab Spring.

The main theme will be the question of continuity and change, as the course will seek to determine to what degree current Russian Foreign Policy is rooted in the Czarist(1613-1917) and Soviet(1917-1991) periods, and to what degree it has operated since 1991 on a new basis. The main emphasis of the course will be on Russia's relations with the United States and Europe, China, the Middle East and the countries of the former Soviet Union--especially Ukraine, the Baltic States, Transcaucasia and Central Asia. The course will conclude with an analysis of the Russian reaction to the Arab Spring and its impact both on Russian domestic politics and on Russian foreign policy.

AS.191.354 (01)	The Global Politics of Migration and Mobilities	Th 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Engelhard, Alice	Bloomberg 172	Fall 2026	Description: From pirates to settlers, enslaved people to nomads, tourists to migrants, global politics are made by the overlapping routes of people on the move, and by attempts to put some people on the move, while containing others in place. In an international world order of nation-states constituted through histories of mobility, questions of movement are amongst the most pressing political issues facing students of international relations. The course will explore some of these questions through engagement with academic texts as well as fiction, film, and archival materials, to ask: What does the study of world politics look like if movement is treated as a primary rather than an exceptional condition? How do contemporary regimes of (im)mobility function to put some people on the move, and attempt to contain others in place? How do processes of colonization and decolonization unfold through questions of mobility? How are questions of belonging framed in relation to movement and stasis, for example, in relation to those rendered ‘migrants’ and ‘natives’?

AS.191.397 (01)	The Politics of the Blues in U.S. Cities	TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Gaines, Kory	Ames 234	Fall 2026	Description: How might we come to understand the blues as critical for ideational formations, identity, and institutional change for Black Americans in the twentieth century? Blues and jazz are not often understood as mediums for political thought and action. Popular culture has always been an avenue for Black Americans to express and influence American politics broadly. The blues has long been a Black working-class epistemology for Black survival and thriving, even further the blues is a foundation for building social democracy for all people. This course will examine how the blues and its extension into jazz critique and explain conditions of racial domination in the plantation South and new relations of domination in the urban North. With a particular focus on Baltimore, Chicago, and New York City, students will understand and analyze the socio-political life of the blues using historical institutionalist methods in political science.

AS.196.306 (01)	Democracy by the Numbers	TTh 4:30PM - 5:45PM	Corrigan, Bryce	SNF Agora 107	Fall 2026	Description: How is democracy doing around the world? This course will help students to answer this question and ask their own questions about political systems by examining a variety of quantitative measures of facets of democracy in the U.S. and internationally. We consider general indices as well as those that focus on specific normatively-appealing aspects—the absence of fraud in and broader integrity of the electoral process itself, the guarantees of fundamental human rights to all, governments’ effectiveness and accountability to the public, the equity of both representation and policy outcomes for minority groups and those historically disadvantaged or excluded, and the possibility and extent of civic engagement in non-government institutions. Wherever possible, the course will present evidence about the kinds of institutions and policies that seem to bolster democracy. Students can expect to gain hands-on experience with publicly-available subnational and national indicators of electoral and democratic quality.

Instead, they are created, shaped, and constructed by a variety of significant forces, over time.This seminar thus suggests that you cannot understand modern American politics and contests, including the 2024 election and the upcoming 2026 election, without examining the historical antecedents that make the present-day moment possible. Consequently, while enrolled in this seminar, students will grapple with the following central question: what are the foundational moments in modern American social, political, and economic history that provided the “building blocks” for the 2026 United States Midterm Elections? How can we use history to analyze and explain the developments of the 2026 election, and put them in context as those moments are happening in real time?

AS.213.398 (01)	Speaking Truth to Power: From Martin Luther to Audre Lorde	TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Frey, Christiane	Gilman 377	Fall 2026	Description: “Here I stand; I can do no other.” With these words, Martin Luther challenged the greatest powers of his time. Centuries later, Audre Lorde declared that “your silence will not protect you,” reframing truth-telling as a tool for survival and liberation. This course explores the ethics and aesthetics of fearless speech (Parrhesia). We will examine how individuals and literary figures—from 16th-century reformers to modern activists, from Sophocles’ Antigone to Wieland’s Diogenes—risked their lives and reputations to speak a truth that disrupts the status quo. How does language become a weapon? What is the cost of breaking the silence? And can truth remain “true” once it enters the arena of political power? These and other questions will be at the core of our inquiry in this seminar as we navigate the boundary between private conscience and public defiance. Readings include: Martin Luther, Plato, Sophocles, Wieland, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Nietzsche, Hannah Arendt, Simone Weil, and Audre Lorde. A section in German will be offered for interested students. Credits: 3.00 Status: Open Seats Available: 2/15 Tags: n/a

As many have observed, literature and law have much in common as well as much to teach each other. Topics this course will discuss include practices of interpretation, issues of authority, and the power of narrative. In addition to reading essays by scholars in the field, students will read a selection of judicial opinions, short stories, novels, and plays. Final grades will be based on class participation, three in-class essays, and a group project due at the end of the semester.

AS.300.441 (01)	Thoreau and Whitman: The Concept of Influence	F 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Bennett, Jane	Gilman 313	Fall 2026	Description: Readings from the works of Thoreau and Whitman, with an eye toward how they explore the multi-specied process of influence upon subjectivity-formation. “Influence” names the incursion, absorption, digestion, and transformation of an outside (including bodies, ideas, affects, elements, moods, atmospheres) into a subjectivity experienced as an inside. What are the powers and limits of Whitman’s and Thoreau’s experiments with language and writing (rhetoric, syntax, imagery, myth) as they seek to induce, inflect, combat, and transform influences? What role do their physical encounters with nonhuman agencies (of plants, animals, objects, divinities) play in, first, the way such encounters are turned into words (depicted and described) and, second, in the degree and kind of influence that those encounters and words have upon us as readers?

AS.305.246 (01)	Out of Place: Diasporic Stories, Real and Imagined	TTh 4:30PM - 5:45PM	Todarello, Josh	Gilman 381	Fall 2026	Description: How do displaced people turn their experiences into stories? What can narratives of displacement teach us about the formation of individual and collective memory, the construction of personhood, and the placeness of diaspora, at once real and imagined? In this seminar, we examine the facts, fables, and fictions of displacement to and from the United States as constructed in literature, film, visual art, popular media, and personal accounts. Our investigations may include Chinese labor on the transcontinental railroad; Germans fleeing fascism in Los Angeles; Black Americans’ self-exile; forced displacement after Hurricane Katrina; Latin American immigration; and migration patterns in Silicon Valley. Working though these events, we will map differences and commonalities in modes of displacement and analyze the structure and quality of their narratives. Theoretical texts will orient and deepen our investigations; these may include works by Homi Bhabha, Richard Wright, Mike Davis, Cherríe Moraga, Fred Moten, Louise Pratt, Theodor Adorno. Student assignments will present opportunities for informal and formal writing and small group collaborations.

AS.310.305 (01)	China, Southeast Asia, and U.S. National Security	T 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Ott, marvin C	Mergenthaler 266	Fall 2026	Description: The global political and security landscape of the 21st century will be shaped by the rivalry between two superpowers -- China and the U.S. For the foreseeable future, the geographic focus of that contest will be Southeast Asia and the surrounding maritime space, particularly the South China Sea. Southeast Asia is a complex, highly differentiated region of ten-plus nations, each with its own unique history and relationship with China. This course will introduce Southeast Asia as a key region -- geographically, economically, and strategically -- often overlooked by policymakers and scholars. It will also focus on the craft of national security strategy as the best tool for understanding the multi-sided competition, already well underway involving China, the U.S., and the Southeast Asian states.
