SOC 214
Spring 2003
This course will explore the social context for innovation and
creativity. The course is open to all undergraduates and is intended
to cut across disciplines – from the arts, to engineering,
economics and science – and to appeal to students who have
a broad interest in the creative process, invention and entrepreneurship.
The course will emphasize social relationships and networks surrounding
creative work; gate keeping; the diffusion of innovation; new
technologies; changing institutions; and public policy. In addition
to lectures and precepts, the course will involve guest presentations
by individuals who have made significant contributions in the
areas of science, music, art, and business.

Seminar in American Politics - Deliberation and Cultural Conflicts
POL 420
Spring 2000
The course will be a seminar on deliberation and cultural conflict,
to be taught in the spring of 2000. The course will pose the question
of how public discussion might resolve cultural conflict. We will
pay particular attention to cultural disagreements driven by ethnicity,
race, or gender. We will first study theoretical approaches to
discussions of conflict. We will then study the empirical literature
on the structure, dynamics and policy outcomes of public discussion
about cultural conflict. Whenever possible, we will study actual
instances of public discussion. The course will end with the question
of how to design productive deliberation that can resolve cultural
conflict. The main requirement of the course will be a paper based
on direct observation of a group of people communicating about
cultural conflict.
