Civic republicanism is a political tradition that emphasizes civic virtue, political participation, non-domination, and the common good. Civic republicanism influenced the American founding and the Abolitionist, labor, antipoverty, Civil Rights, feminist, and environmental movements.  This course begins with the history of civic republicanism, including classic political thinkers like Aristotle, Wollstonecraft, Rousseau, Jefferson, Douglass, and Marx, and then explores contemporary republican political thought.  Additionally, we look at how civic republicanism can inform responses to contemporary issues like racism, sexism, reproductive rights, homophobia, economic inequality, political corruption, threats to democracy, new technologies, and climate change.
