Contemporary U.S. Politics 1st year IEP

This course is a broad outline of contemporary U.S. politics, helping first year students to make better sense of major contemporary issues, keeping in mind that 2024 is a presidential election year. We'll have a close look at U.S. institutions and the working of elections, before tackling some major social issues, notably with a focus on race and class questions. 

The course is entirely interactive and oral participation by students is very much expected. We'll use a very vast array of documents, from various sources, to help us better apprehend U.S. society as it is today. Let me insist again on the sheer diversity of these sources.

I'm not forgetting this is also a course OF English, not only a course IN English, therefore as we go along we'll always make sure to improve students' English, be it oral or written. 

Wishing you the very best.
