Research Assistant Opportunities
Professor Jane Mansbridge will be teaching Gov 1039 ("Democratic Theory" next Spring and will want a
teaching fellow. The course description is as follows: This course traces the evolution of western
democratic theory from the ancient Greeks to the present, with particular emphasis on the institutions that influenced
and were in turn influenced by these evolving theories. The readings run from Aristotle and Hobbes through Habermas
and Foucault, with one foray into Islamic thought. The course has two aims: to foster an appreciation of the history
behind the ideas that shaped today's democracies and to pose critical normative questions for today.
It will have 15 FAS undergrads and 20 KSG students.
Please email Professor Mansbridge if you are interested.
