Health Care? Immigration? Climate
Change? Same-Sex marriage? How do decisions on these and countless
other major public issues get made in America? This course provides the
answers by giving students an interdisciplinary introduction to public
leadership and policy making in the United States. Students will begin by
exploring important theoretical and empirical studies of leadership styles and
the relationship between American politics and civil society. Then they
will examine examples of public leadership and sites of public policy making
from the local community to the national capital. In each section,
discussion about specific individuals and issues will be used to illustrate the
role of leaders and particular institutions at every level of American public
life. The course will conclude by asking students to blend their
understanding of theory and practice in American public leadership and policy
making by analyzing an important current issue individually and as a
class. Throughout the course, students will also be introduced to the
primary skills of effective engagement in political and civic discussion,
deliberation, advocacy, and action.

12:20 – 1:35 PM, Woodburn 203 (some in-class meetings will be replaced by project

This course includes a practice
component of leadership, service, and advocacy in the context of food policy
and poverty. First, we will examine a variety of economic, ecological,
sociological and political dimensions of food in local, national, and
international contexts. Investigating the policies and processes that drive the
production, distribution, and consumption of food will be used to examine the
effects of these policies and processes on our diet, our health, our economy
and our environment from the local to the global. Then, we will analyze
different approaches to leadership and advocacy as they relate to food policy
and poverty. As a final project for the course, students will have the
opportunity to put the knowledge and skills they have learned throughout the
semester into practice by advocating for a local cause related to food and
poverty or contributing to an existing Oxfam America initiative on the IU
campus.
