I’m happy to announce I am teaching a new special topics course at USF this fall that is an advanced political theory class for poli-sci majors. It’s called POT 4936: Democracy and Propaganda. The course covers political philosophy from the ancient period to our own time. We’re reading Plato and Hannah Arendt, along with Jason Stanley and Sophia Rosenfeld. The subject matter is about how our ideas about epistemology (how we know what we know) affect what kinds of political systems we live under. Or in other words, what is the relationship between truth and politics. It’s a very timely course and a challenging one. I’m very excited to be teaching it.
