Course Description

How should those in positions of power use it? What is the role of society, mentorship, education, and individuals in preparing people for leadership roles? This course will take a historical view at the ways in which people in various cultures and societies across different time periods have sought to answer these questions. In approaching this topic, we will consider the role of exemplarity—the idea that someone else’s actions, behaviors, and political ideas might inform our own practice. To this end, we will read texts that use exemplarity to model political and non-political leadership. This class will consist of several readings, brief writing assignments, and a final in-class symposium in which students will present the results of a research project.
