■ 과목소개
현대 사회과학의 절학의 핵심적인 주제들을 고전적인 연구논문들과 해설서를 함께 읽으면서 공부한다. 모든 수강생은 매주 정해진 읽을거리를 미리 읽고, 각자 맡은 읽을거리에 대한 간단한 발표(10분 가량)를 준비해온다. 수업시간에는 발제에서 제기된 문제를 포함한 주요 논점에 대한 논의가 이루어진다.
읽을거리는 두 종류로 나쉰다. 첫째는 수업을 위해 반드시 읽고 들어와야 하는 것으로 [RR](Required Readings)로 표시된다. 보다 어렵거나 보충적인 읽을거리는 [FR](Further Readings)로 표시된다. [RR]은 주로 다음 책에서 찾을 수 있다.
