Class Notes:
The aim of this seminar is to provide an introduction to the literature in the field of judicial politics. Particular emphasis will be placed on the Supreme Court. We will discuss some of the classics in the field of judicial politics as well as some of the more recent work that is being done by scholars of the courts. My goals are to: (1) introduce graduate students to the literature in judicial process and behavior and, in so doing, discuss some of the most important debates (both past and present) in the sub-field; and (2) underscore the importance of sound theoretical arguments, careful research designs, and compelling empirical results. This course is taught from the perspective that the study of courts should be (and currently is) closely connected to the theoretical and empirical traditions in American Politics. As such, we will focus on the scientific study of judicial process and politics, analyzing the substantive, theoretical, and methodological developments in the field. http://classinfo.umn.edu/?trj+POL8360+Spring2024

Women in Politics
Class Description:
This course examines the ways in which women, sex, and gender shape and are shaped by American politics and public policy. We explore the history, approaches, findings, and controversies in research about women, sex, and gender in American politics and political science from a range of theoretical and methodological approaches. We will examine work within several subfields of American politics (e.g., public opinion, voting behavior, electoral politics, legislative studies, public policy, political development, public law, interest groups and social movements). We will also explore feminist, queer, and intersectional theories and methodologies, important work from other disciplines, and research that does not fit neatly into traditional categories within political science, considering the implications of this "messiness" for the study of gender and politics. Throughout the course, we will analyze the ways in which sex, sexuality, and gender-based issues and discrimination intersect with other politically-relevant categories, identities, and forms of marginalization, such as race, ethnicity, class, and ideological and partisan identification.
Grading:
Other Grading Information: Students will write a series of short reaction papers, make short presentations, and write a research paper.

Democratic Deliberation & Processes
Class Description:
POL 8360: Small Group Processes and Democratic Deliberation The ?deliberative turn? in democratic theory has inspired a range of new empirical research. This work asks how deliberative existing democratic systems are and what can be done to make them more so. Drawing on work in political science, communications, psychology, and sociology, we will examine this new literature, exploring such questions as: How can we measure the quality of deliberation? Can conversation about politics, whether in small groups, in the media, or in everyday conversation, meet the standards of deliberative theory? What can empirical research tell us about how to improve the quality of deliberation? We will start by briefly reviewing the normative literature spawned by the ?deliberative turn.? The bulk of the course will explore literatures on small group processes, and what lessons this research can teach us about the feasibility of creating deliberation in institutions like deliberative polls, citizen juries, and other ?mini-publics.? Finally, we will examine research on everyday political conversation among citizens, asking what such conversation looks like and whether it can play a role in a deliberative political system. This course meets the requirements of an elective class for the Ph.D. minor in Political Psychology.
