Modules

This course develops students? abilities to think critically about key themes in international politics. It builds on the introduction to the discipline of International Relations provided by The Graduate Seminar in International Relations Theory. The aim is to introduce students to what it means to think critically about international politics as well as the work of key critical thinkers. Starting with Foucault's writings on the critical ethos, the course examines the ways in which it is possible to think critically about topics (such as power, subjectivity, space, resistance, hospitality and ethics).
