Sociology 3210: Sociology of Trumpism Fall 2017

Carleton University Department of Sociology and Anthropology Sociology 3210: Sociology of Trumpism Fall 2017

Professor Justin Paulson Class time: Monday 11:35am-2:25pm Email: [email protected] Location: SA 518 Office: Loeb C761 Office hours: Monday 2:30-3:30pm, Thursday 1pm-2pm T.A.: TBA Messages: 613-520-2600, ext. 2938

Prerequisites: Soc/Anth 1001 and 1002 or Soc/Anth 1003. Students with at least 3rd-year standing only.

Description and Objectives

This course will make sense of the Trump phenomenon by interrogating the sociological histories and undercurrents of contemporary rightwing populism, patriarchal backlash, and white supremacy. The course will not be rehashing “why Clinton lost”, but instead will be asking questions about—and making visible—the underlying systems and structures that made Trump’s election possible, what (if anything) is new about Trumpism, and how it relates to rightwing and fascist movements elsewhere. We will also investigate the failures of liberalism revealed by the election, and the significance of Trump’s election and governance for sociology.

Format and Assessment

Students in this class will read a variety of texts related to the course themes, and then meet for 3 hours each week. Class meetings may consist of lectures, discussions, films, and student presentations. Note that lectures will not rehash the assigned texts, but are designed to complement them by providing background, context, clarification, and theoretical framing. Students will have opportunities each week to engage with and discuss the readings and the issues that they raise.

Students are expected to:

• Carefully read the assigned texts before the class meets. In the week before each meeting , you should prepare some written questions, thoughts, and/or subjects for discussion that are drawn from your own reflections on the week's texts.

• Attend all class meetings, being prepared to discuss the reading for that week. You should not take this course if you cannot attend regularly.

• Assessment in this course will be based on: ☞ class participation (10%): this includes attendance, weekly reading quizzes and other in-class exercises, and the quality of your regular participation. ☞ a social media analysis (20%): due electronically by 4pm October 20. ☞ a portfolio of short pieces of writing (40%) reflecting on the week’s themes in light of current events. Minimum one page per week, incorporating your reflections on what you’ve read for the course in that week. Due December 8. ☞ a final research project (worth 30% of the grade), consisting of a poster presentation and short presentation of your research, accompanied by a 6-page paper. Presentations will take place December 4 and December 8. Your paper will be due on December 8.

Extra-credit opportunities may be made available at various points in the term; these may involve attending and learning from campus colloquia, panel talks, and other events related to course themes.

SOCI 3210 – Fall 2017 Sociology of Trumpism

In accordance with the Carleton University Undergraduate Calendar, the letter grades assigned in this course will have the following percentage equivalents: A+ = 90-100 B+ = 77-79 C+ = 67-69 D+ = 57-59 A = 85-89 B = 73-76 C = 63-66 D = 53-56 A - = 80-84 B - = 70-72 C - = 60-62 D - = 50-52 F = Below 50 WDN = Withdrawn from the course ABS = Student absent from final exam DEF = Deferred FND = (Failed, no Deferred)

Questions: Out-of-class questions about the course material are best handled in office hours. If you cannot make the regular office hours, please do not hesitate to schedule an appointment! If it is impractical or impossible to schedule an appointment, then you are encouraged to email your question to Prof. Paulson or to your TA, as appropriate. Please note that all emails to your professor or to your TA should be considered formal communication, and written accordingly. I will not answer an email if the level of language used is inadequate.

Email: Every effort will be made to respond to office hour scheduling requests within 24 hours. Other emailed questions may take longer, depending on their content. (Please do not use email as a substitute for reading the syllabus!)

Written style: Written work should be typed, proofread, double-spaced, and written in a standard 12-point font Written work for this course is also expected to conform to the grammatical and style standards of formal university writing: in Sociology this typically means using in-text citations in order to cite others' texts, and appending a formal bibliography to the end of your paper that lists the texts you have consulted. As an alternative, students may use Chicago style instead. (Either style should be used consistently.)

Submission: Assignments are due at the BEGINNING OF CLASS on their due-date, unless explicitly noted otherwise.

Late Work: Late work will not be accepted.

Academic honesty: Please see the next page of the course outline for the University's policies concerning plagiarism. Both your professor and your TA take academic honesty extremely seriously, and follow the university guidelines to the letter. Even if you think you know what plagiarism is, you should read over the entire academic integrity policy again; ignorance is not an excuse!

Computers: Laptop computers may be used in class when necessary to take notes; documentation from the Paul Menton Centre is required. (The internet connection should be switched off, power cords should not cross the aisles, and the computer use should not be distracting to other students.) Students may also use laptops to take notes if providing notes to the PMC.

Other computers, tablets, iPods, etc. should be turned off and put away.

Cell phones: Cell phones must be turned off and put away for the duration of the class.

Required Texts:

Journal articles, news stories, and book chapters available through the library's journals and reserves system, and/or online.

Academic Regulations

University rules regarding registration, withdrawal, appealing marks, and most anything else you might need to know can be found on the university’s website, here: http://calendar.carleton.ca/undergrad/regulations/academicregulationsoftheuniversity/

Academic Accommodation

You may need special arrangements to meet your academic obligations during the term. For an accommodation request the processes are as follows:

Pregnancy obligation: write to me with any requests for academic accommodation during the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is known to exist. For more details see the Student Guide.

Religious obligation: write to me with any requests for academic accommodation during the first two weeks of class, or as soon as possible after the need for accommodation is known to exist. For more details see the Student Guide.

Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

The Paul Menton Centre for Students with Disabilities (PMC) provides services to students with Learning Disabilities (LD), psychiatric/mental health disabilities, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), chronic medical conditions, and impairments in mobility, hearing, and vision. If you have a disability requiring academic accommodations in this course, please contact PMC at 613-520-6608 or [email protected] for a formal evaluation. If you are already registered with the PMC, contact your PMC coordinator to send me your Letter of Accommodation at the beginning of the term, and no later than two weeks before the first in-class scheduled test or exam requiring accommodation (if applicable). After requesting accommodation from PMC, meet with me to ensure accommodation arrangements are made.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the passing off of someone else's work as your own and is a serious academic offence. All details regarding what constitutes plagiarism, the potential penalties and the procedures can be found in the section on Instructional Offences in the Undergraduate Calendar.

All students are bound by the Carleton University Student Academic Integrity Policy. Please ensure that you have read it and understand it. The Policy is strictly enforced and is binding on all students.

Plagiarism and cheating—presenting another’s ideas, arguments, words or images as your own, using unauthorized material, misrepresentation, fabricating or misrepresenting research data, failing to acknowledge sources (whether ideas, concepts, quotations, or paraphrased material), unauthorized co-operation or collaboration or completing work for another student—weaken the quality of everyone's degree. Academic dishonesty in any form is unacceptable, without exception.

What are the Procedures and Penalties for Plagiarism? Plagiarism is a serious offence that cannot be resolved directly by the course’s instructor. All allegations of plagiarism are reported to the Dean of the faculty. Documentation is prepared by instructors and/or departmental chairs. The Associate Dean of the Faculty conducts a rigorous investigation, including an interview with the student. Penalties are not trivial, and may include: expulsion; suspension from all studies at Carleton; suspension from full- time studies; a reprimand; a refusal of permission to continue or to register in a specific degree program; academic probation; award of a grade of FNS, Fail, or ABS in the course.

Respectful learning environment: We will be discussing topics that some of you may find unsettling. Common sense will be challenged. While it is crucial for your learning in this class to critically engage with the course materials from diverse perspectives, including your own experience, it is important that you do so from a foundation of respect and collegiality and a willingness to understand others’ perspectives. In order to create a classroom environment that fosters productive dialogue, you are expected to treat everyone with respect and courtesy.

Schedule of Topics and Reading List

Note: This is a ‘special topics’ course covering an ongoing current event, and I want to make space for your own interests as well as anything that comes up in the news which may shape how we talk about and understand Trump and rightwing populism. How we talk about Trump will be an ongoing theme, and so course readings may include journalism and popular punditry as well as scholarly material. (Note: pundits' expertise is not peer-reviewed prior to publication, and is often found lacking.) Further material may be added as we go along, and will be put on reserve. We’ll try to keep as up-to-date as possible.
