| POLS 1823N - Nationalism: Problems, Paradoxes and Power |

This seminar examines nationalism's historical evolution and reconstructs its role in contemporary political life. Drawing from a broad, interdisciplinary range of materials—from political philosophy to history and political science—the class interrogates the relationship between nationalism and other ideas considered constitutive of “modernity,” like capitalism and popular sovereignty.

What are the roots of nationalism’s continued imaginative appeal and political potential? WRIT
