1 Theorizing Diversity POL 509 Course Syllabus Graduate Seminar, Department of Politics Professor Alan Patten Fall 2010 Contemporary liberal democracies are characterized by important forms of diversity, including racial, religious, cultural, and linguistic diversity. The course examines recent work in normative political theory that debates how liberal democracies ought to respond to these varying forms of diversity. How should concepts of race, religion, and culture be understood by political theorists interested in these debates? Do racial, religious, and/or cultural minorities as such have rights to recognition or accommodation? And what would the basis of any such rights, or of opposition to them, be in the principles of liberal democracy? Books worth acquiring: - Amy Gutmann (ed.) Color Conscious - Tommie Shelby, We Who Are Dark Week 1 Introduction to Course Themes Anthony Appiah, Race, Culture, Identity in Amy Gutmann (ed.)
