POLSC 310 - Pop Culture and Advanced IR Theory
Prerequisites: POLSC 110 and POLSC 210
Requirement Fulfillment: Major, Minor, Core Concentration
Delivery: Lecture
This course seeks to give students a deeper examination of the theories of international relations and provide a foundation for students’ future analytical work in the field. The dominant approach to studying international relations theory is “theory for theory’s sake.” In this course, we will treat theory as the means to an end or a tool to understand the world. Our goal is to use theory to make predictions or prescribe policy. The course will use pop culture as a lens to explore the application of the theories. Depending on current interests the course may cover zombies, other apocalyptical creatures, or science fiction including Star Wars, Star Trek, and others.
