World Politics podcasts

September 5th, 2008 | Posted by ptj in ProfPTJ | SIS-105 - (0 Comments)

Upon re-watching some of my podcasts from last year’s course I think that they’re still about as good as I can do for the moment, so the first two podcasts will be the same as last year’s:

For realism, go here.

For liberalism, go here.

At this point I am planing to re-do the constructivism and critical challenges lectures for 2008.

SIS-206, lecture nine

June 18th, 2008 | Posted by ptj in SIS-206 - (0 Comments)

Here’s the ninth lecture from SIS-206, Summer 2008. Topic: “Monistic Causation II: Discourse Analysis.” Due to a technical glitch, this is just the slides — no audio recorded, even though I delivered the lecture live in the classroom. Oh well — if you weren’t there, you missed my witty banter.

Pay special attention to the last slide, which gives the four things I’d like to see in the monistic causation research proposal due next week.

SIS-680, lecture 4

June 17th, 2008 | Posted by ptj in SIS-680 - (0 Comments)

The fourth lecture for SIS-680, Summer 2008. Topic: “Relational Research.”

Sorry this is late getting posted; I meant to do it earlier but was unable to. And be warned that this is an even longer one than usual, clocking in at something like 2 hours 10 minutes.
