Democracy And Difference

Dr. Richard Tahvildaran-Jesswein (Office Suite HSS 356) Political Science 1 – National & California Governments (Fall 2019) Sections 3333, 3337 and 3340 (Visit Canvas online through www.smc.edu) Office Hours: Wednesdays 7:00-8:00 a.m. and Mondays and Wednesdays 11:30-12:30 p.m. Catalogue Description: This course surveys and analyzes the principles, institutions, policies, and politics of U.S. national and California state governments. Professor’s Note: In this course we will examine and then interrogate the foundations of American democracy and both the formal and informal institutions of our national and state governments. We will study the concepts of democracy, power and order, freedom and liberty, and both political and social rights. We will address these concepts and their importance to our American political institutions as we work to identify and then analyze and discuss the often-competing political positions regarding the rights and obligations of American citizenship. Of particular interest to us in this course will be the ways in which the exercise of American politics has worked to exclude certain populations/groups-of-people and the ways in which politically marginalized peoples have both resisted and protested exclusion and marginalization. This class has a focused theme on a politics of difference in the United States: We will examine political questions pertaining to race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation/preference/attraction through the aesthetics of film. These discussions may, at times, be challenging and controversial. Student Learning Objectives: By the end of the semester students will be able to identify the democratic principles and philosophies that have, over time, defined the American Republic. With this knowledge, students will be better prepared to analyze, evaluate, and write critically about national and state government and politics & public policies using concepts and theories introduced during the term. Students will also have improved media literacy skills allowing them to critically analyze film texts and other cultural images. Required Texts:
