Learning objectives

This course is designed to develop your skills in discussing and critiquing both arguments and evidence. Students not only need to understand the arguments, but also need to be able to talk about them and extend them. Each lesson’s readings will typically include some “classics” defining the perspective, some more recent theoretical and/or empirical developments of the perspectives, and either implicit or explicit critiques of the basic perspective.
