COMPSTD 6100 Critical Foundations: Comparative Analysis
Wednesdays 9-11:45, Hagerty 451
Philip Armstrong
This course prepares students to begin to approach their research interests and questions from a comparative perspective. The function of comparison is not to discover differences and similarities, but to understand more comprehensively the political, social, economic, and aesthetic dimensions of the various discourses and practices that constitute social and individual life.
