From Protest to Policy: Gender in Political Process GOVT 391 | GSWS 390 | COLL 300
Claire McKinney, Assistant Professor of Gender, Sexuality, & Women’s Studies and Government
How does gender make a difference in politics? Do women and men legislate differently? What issues become political when women decide to act? This hybrid course will explore the role of gender difference in political action and outcome by examining social movements, interest groups, and the three branches of government. By examining how political change and process is and is not influenced by gender, the course will add depth to our understanding of the explicit inclusion of gender in the public sphere.

This hybrid course will critically examine “political violence,” which some call “terrorism,” in the 20th and 21st century Middle East. We will examine “political violence” in its state and non-state forms; in other words, how violence is used by state and non-state actors. Therefore, we will learn about the unprecedented way colonial rulers utilized political violence and how anti-colonialist struggles contested those regimes’ right to it.

Ethical Leadership | PUBP 390
Ethical Leadership | PUBP 390
Drew Stelljes, Vice President for Student Engagement & Leadership | James Comey '82
Ethical leaders lead by seeing above the short term, above the urgent or the partisan, and with a higher loyalty to lasting values, most importantly the truth. Building and maintaining that kind of leadership, in both the private sector and government, is the challenge of our time. This course is not just for leaders or those who aspire to lead. Whether we are in positions of authority or not, we should care about ethical leadership because, as voters, stockholders, and employees, we play a vital role in choosing our leaders.
