Block 3, Oct. 2020
Instructor: Dana Wolfe

PS315 considers how people think about politics, focusing on the power of identity, how elections and candidates prime those identities by looking at the 2016 election, and the 2020 Presidential campaign. PS315 will also look at the more fundamental building blocks of campaigns, including media messaging and GOTV efforts.
