This is a seminar intended mainly for Ph.D. students interested in working in depth on current controversies that draw attention from contemporary American politics scholars. On the one hand it is expected that students will arrive with different backgrounds in terms of American politics reading, statistical skills, and training as theorists. On the other hand, all should be willing to approach the research questions at the highest level. In addition to presenting discussion papers regarding the relevant literature (and the subsequent class discussions), students will work on individual research papers related to the course.
