Ran in 1 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: not on the schedule. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.
Focusing on the most pressing current political issues in American politics, students will critically examine how the major institutional components of the American political system (separation of powers, division of powers, Bill of Rights) shape political responses to those issues. Students will consider how existing patterns of privilege and marginalization play out in regard to those issues and the degree to which those issues allow for challenges to existing patterns of political privilege and marginalization.

u/its0-100: “I’m going to 2A and am mixed between psci331 with daniel henstra or psci367 with gerard boychuk. Does anyone have experience with either of these courses or profs, cause I couldn’t find anything. And should I take a 300 level course only going into 2A, thanks.”
