The
seminar will be divided into two halves.
The first half involves discussion of a common core of readings (see the
list below). The second half is
organized around presentations by seminar participants on journal articles and
books on topics of special interest. A
longer list of optional readings is available at http://www.indiana.edu/~ipe/bibliog.html
which may be used to help define these presentations. Each presenter will be responsible for
providing one copy of important articles for classroom discussion at least two
weeks before his/her presentation.
Grades
will be based on a midterm examination (25%), a seminar presentation (25%), and
a term paper based on the seminar presentation (50%).
The following books have been ordered for
purchase and will be available at the Indiana Memorial Union bookstore:
