Capitalism and Democracy
CSS 291 FA

We investigate the public and private spheres of social life. This investigation addresses the following questions: first, what is meant by the distinction between public and private? Second, what is the systemic logic peculiar to each sphere, if any, and how do these spheres interact to create a given social order? Third, what considerations might inform where and how the boundary between private and public spheres should be drawn? Students will have the opportunity to pursue this investigation in group presentations and individual research projects.
