This course will examine controversial political ideologies that invoke ethnicity. These ideologies include Social Darwinism, nationalism, and socio-biology. Some of these ideologies have been associated with extreme racial politics while others, such as JS Mill's Nationalism, are compatible with conventional liberal values. This course is primarily designed to be useful to political theory students but it will also be valuable for students from other social and political sciences or from the humanities. The course material will include some 'classic' sources such as writings by J.S. Mill and Charles Darwin, but will mostly be drawn from current literature.
Any 15 points in Maori and Indigenous Studies at 200 level or their co-coded equivalents or 15 points at 200 level POLS. Students without these prerequisites but with 60 points in appropriate courses may enter the course with the approval of the Head of School.
