The interdisciplinary readings of the course draw from the humanities and social sciences that span time, location, and culture so as to better understand truisms, tendencies, contingencies, and varieties of power and conflict. Students will become proficient at diagnosing power relations in the political arena and aware of how power is exerted on them and how they have agency to manifest power upon others.
