This class studies the workings of major institutions and practices in American life during a period in which key parts of our society seem dysfunctional, having lost their integrity, ability to solve problems, and willingness to imagine any positive future. How did this happen? Why does it continue? What might be done about it? Through a careful reading of texts in political analysis and social criticism, students explore some significant issues in modern society.
