- Class Description:
- This course is centered around the professional scholarly journal Sociology of Education, which is housed at the University of Minnesota through 2016. Class sessions will focus on the operations of the journal, with an eye toward teaching students how research articles are evaluated; how the review process can shape and improve research; how the process of turning a first draft of a paper into a polished and published article unfolds; how to critique ongoing research in a professional way; and how to respond to such critiques about your own work. Along the way, involvement will provide an opportunity for students to gain theoretical, methodological, and substantive insight into a wide range of issues that touch on education in one way or another. Each week, students will (among other things) discuss articles that have been submitted; discuss external peer reviews of those articles; debate what decision should be made about submissions; think together about how to solicit more and better submissions; think together about reviewers and the review process; and think together about how to best use the journal's social media presence. Students who participate will be expected to do some work in preparation for each meeting. Project meetings will be lively and interactive, and will differ in focus and content from week to week.

- Class Description:
- What are the influences and roles of finance in the contemporary world and in critical scholarship? It comes to no surprise that over the last thirty years, finance - the constellation of priorities, practices, and ideologies whereby the central goals are to search for and convert assets into income streams and financial investments - has catalyzed massive shifts in social relations and meanings, life projects, and economies. The growth and influence of financial values and activities as central shapers and models of space, from public institutions to everyday life, from speculative cities to Fortune 500 corporations, and the attendant ramifications of increasing inequality and precarity, demand greater scholarly engagement. At the same, finance draws attention to longstanding debates and quandaries in critical scholarship on the neoliberal moment, on capitalism and capitalist accumulation, on development and globalization, on the production and use of difference and inequality. For example, inquiry into finance allows us to ask and reflect on questions such as, is finance just the latest "stage" of capitalism? Why is finance good to think with? How can it challenge us to re-frame dominant approaches to understanding economy, markets, and institutions, and critical approaches to notions of accumulation by dispossession, speculative land grabbing, global urbanism, and speculative governmentality? What is finance's relationship to space, and power? Is finance always already productive of inequality, as well as forms of resistance?PARTIAL READING LIST:
