AS.230.335 (01)	Medical Humanitarianism	TTh 1:30PM - 2:45PM	Naveh Benjamin, Ilil	Shaffer 304	Spring 2026	Description: Humanitarian organizations play life-preserving roles in global conflicts, and have front-row views of disasters ranging from the 2010 Haiti earthquake to the 2011 Fukushima tsunami in Japan. Yet even while they provide vital assistance to millions of people in crisis, such organizations are beset by important paradoxes that hinder their capacity to create sustainable interventions. They work to fill long-lasting needs, but are prone to moving quickly from one site to the next in search of the latest emergency. They strive to be apolitical, yet are invariably influenced by the geopolitical agendas of global powers. How do such contradictions arise, and what is their impact upon millions of aid recipients around the world? Drawing on case studies from South Sudan to Haiti, this course addresses these contradictions by exploring how and why medical aid organizations attempt, and sometimes fail, to reconcile short-term goals, such as immediate life-saving, with long-term missions, such as public health programs and conflict resolution initiatives.

AS.230.378 (01)	Refugees, Human Rights, and Sovereignty	TTh 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Naveh Benjamin, Ilil	Shaffer 304	Spring 2026	Description: What is a refugee? Since World War II, states that have pledged to offer protection to refugees have frequently been drawn instead to the dictates of nationalism and communitarianism, which prioritize concern for their own citizens, rather than to the needs of forced migrants. As a result, even those migrants that have been formally recognized as refugees according to the 1951 UN Refugee Convention have not been assured of protection, and other migrants have been even less assured. In this course, we will locate the reasons for this reality in the legal, political, and historical underpinnings of political asylum. What is the difference between an asylum seeker and a refugee? How has the refugee category been redefined and contested by international bodies since 1951? How are the ambiguities of real-life violence and persecution simplified in asylum adjudication interviews that require clear, factual narratives? What kinds of protections are offered to asylum seekers, whether by UN bodies, NGOs, or host governments, and how have such protections varied geographically and historically? Finally, what protections, if any, are afforded to those migrants who are fleeing not persecution but rather “merely” endemic poverty or climate-induced displacement? The course draws on literature from sociology, history, anthropology, and international refugee law in order to understand the capacity (or lack thereof) of human rights discourses and declarations to contravene state sovereignty in the name of protecting the rightless.

AS.230.395 (01)	Theories of Power and Resistance	T 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Levien, Michael	3505 N. Charles 300	Spring 2026	Description: How does power operate in contemporary societies? How is power reproduced, how is it resisted and under what conditions does resistance produce social change? This course will examine how social theorists have advanced novel answers to these questions as they grappled with the historical events and social concerns of the 20th and 21st centuries, including the failure of communist movements in the West, the rise and fall of fascism and Nazism, the consolidation of capitalist democracies, the emergence of anti-colonial movements in the "Third World," and the mutations and intersections of race, gender and sexuality as forms of domination. In addition to understanding and comparing theories, we will assess their usefulness for understanding our present conjuncture.

AS.230.401 (01)	Science in Action: Expertise, Economy, and Authority	Th 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Gray, Ian Patrick	Mergenthaler 526	Spring 2026	Description: This is an upper-level seminar examining the relationship between scientific expertise, economic behavior, and state authority. The course will explore and critique how, following World War II, scientific knowledge has become increasingly linked to different regulatory functions of the modern nation state, especially as a means of mediating negative spillovers of economic and administrative behavior on human health and the environment. Themes that will be of central interest include the institutionalization of "impact science" within different state agencies; the rise and role of expertise in science-related decision making; understanding how scientists secure and maintain credibility, salience and legitimacy in the face of scrutiny from skeptical publics and ideological adversaries; and the increasing challenges to regulatory sciences (what many call a “crisis of expertise”) posed by the organization and proliferation of misinformation, media echo-chambers, and corporate lobbying. The course will end by reviewing emerging models for how science-based decision making can be made more pluralistic and accountable to the publics in whose name it is often made.

AS.230.413 (01)	Energy and Society	M 9:00AM - 11:30AM	Levien, Michael	Mergenthaler 526	Spring 2026	Description: Framed by the escalating climate crisis, this seminar will focus on the social embeddedness of fossil fuels and the conditions of possibility for a renewable energy transition. Topics to be explored include the relationship between fossil fuels and capitalism; the character of previous historical energy transformations; climate denialism and the political power of the fossil fuel industry; the political and social challenges posed by fossil-fuel producing regions; contemporary proposals for a Green New Deal and "just transitions"; the challenges of siting energy infrastructure; and the social implications of various energy transition pathways associated with technologies such wind, solar, and carbon capture. Cases will be drawn from across the world. This will be a read-intensive seminar intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Prior experience in social science recommended. Students will produce a final research paper on a topic and case of their choosing. Credits: 3.00 Status: Closed Seats Available: 6/10 Tags: INST-IR, ENGY-SCIPOL, CES-LE

AS.001.136 (01)	FYS: Cults, Communes, and Conspiracies	W 3:00PM - 5:30PM	Morgan, Stephen L	Gilman 77	Fall 2026	Description: Cults, communes, and conspiracies are unusual social and ideological organizations. How should we understand their origins, structure, and functioning? In our First-Year Seminar, we will assess the value of alternative explanatory concepts from the social sciences, such as charismatic leadership, organizational ecology, network structure, status competition, social influence, and belief propagation. We will then interpret cases in comparative perspective, asking, for example, how cults differ from religious sects, how communes differ from political movements, and how organized crime groups differ from legal businesses.

AS.001.138 (01)	FYS: The Science of Connection Meets the Future of Work: Finding the Humane in an AI Era	W 10:30AM - 1:00PM	Pugh, Allison	Shaffer 305	Fall 2026	Description: Thanks to the field of connection science, we know that social bonds are vital for physical and social well-being. Relationships with other people contribute to longevity, lessen physical pain and bolster mental health, for example. Scholars document how human connections have important practical effects, enabling students to learn or patients to heal. Yet those who research work are debating what sort of jobs might be left for human beings to do, as generative AI passes milestones apparently exceeding human performance. At the same time, many feel profoundly invisible, thanks to the widespread reduction of individuals to data, the proliferation of scripted encounters and the spread of screens across the economy and civic life. The contradictory trends here can seem bewildering: we are realizing more and more how profoundly human connections matter at the same time that we seem to be automating as many of those connections as possible. In this First-Year Seminar, we will consider how to understand this paradox and how we can aim for a high-touch future, one in which human beings contribute value and derive dignity, purpose and community. This course will look beyond the headlines and hype to consider how AI reshapes—not replaces—our understanding of connection, care, and meaning, and how to best preserve them. We will read relevant work from sociology, psychology, neuroscience and science and technology studies, attend a local theater performance, and conduct in-class exercises – all about connection and belonging in a digital era. Students will also undertake small projects to improve connection in their communities. Credits: 3.00 Status: Canceled Seats Available: 12/12 Tags: n/a

Students will explore questions like: How has immigration shaped the city over the past 300 years? Who is trying to change Baltimore and how are they doing it? Who has power in Baltimore and how do they use it? We will learn about and apply social science research methods, such as analyzing survey data, mining university archives and special collections, and walking the streets of Baltimore observing and interviewing locals. We’ll also investigate research on Baltimore undertaken by Hopkins faculty to help students identify possible courses or research to pursue in the future.

AS.001.280 (01)	FYS: Spilling the Tea - The Political Economy & Ecology of Tea	W 3:00PM - 5:30PM	Kuo, Huei-Ying; Ludden, Jason	Greenhouse 113	Fall 2026	Description: Tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world, with almost 7 million tonnes grown, harvested, processed, and packaged annually. Whether you use loose leaf or tea bags, drink green tea or black, add sugar or cream, use it to stay awake or go to sleep, or consume it in solitude or with friends to share gossip, you are participating in the worldwide consumption of tea, which has created economic relations (and wars), new ecosystems for plants and animals (and humans), and is culturally significant in public and private spaces. In short, tea organizes people’s homes, government meetings, economies, investment markets, and landscapes. In this First-Year Seminar, we will examine the history and present-day production of tea and how it creates and recreates social relations and environments. In addition to learning about tea (and tasting different kinds), students will be exposed to research methodologies in the fields of sociology, anthropology, and communication studies. By the end of class, students will have an understanding of the different kinds of teas (and how to prepare them), the role tea plays in society, and how tea functions within ecosystems.

AS.190.437 (01)	Race and Ethnic Politics in the United States	Th 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Weaver, Vesla Mae	Gilman 55	Fall 2026	Description: Race has been and continues to be centrally important to American political life and development. In this course, we will engage with the major debates around racial politics in the United States, with a substantial focus on how policies and practices of citizenship, immigration law, social provision, and criminal justice policy shaped and continue to shape racial formation, group-based identities, and group position; debates around the content and meaning of political representation and the responsiveness of the political system to American minority groups; debates about how racial prejudice has shifted and its importance in understanding American political behavior; the prospects for contestation or coalitions among groups; the “struggle with difference” within groups as they deal with the interplay of race and class, citizenship status, and issues that disproportionately affect a subset of their members; and debates about how new groups and issues are reshaping the meaning and practice of race in the United States.

AS.197.330 (01)	Social Networks	M 9:00AM - 11:30AM	Yavas, Mustafa	SNF Agora 107	Fall 2026	Description: The well-known saying, “It is not what you know, but who you know,” captures the importance of social networks in our everyday lives. However, social networks shape not only individuals but also society at large. From protests to epidemics, market performance of innovations to culture wars, and election results to dating and marriage, this course will explore how social networks shape society through their impacts on individuals, institutions, and structures. We will start by learning key network concepts, measures, processes, and analyses. We will then move on to thematic explorations of how social networks emerge, evolve, and influence various individual and social outcomes. Finally, we will conclude by applying social networks as a theoretical lens for understanding society. This course satisfies the "research lab" requirement for Moral and Political Economy majors.

AS.230.231 (01)	The Rise of Gig Economy Around the Globe	MW 12:00PM - 1:15PM	Liang, Jingting	Krieger 308	Fall 2026	Description: Digital platforms are becoming an indispensable part of our lives. We order food and groceries through DoorDash and Instacart, request rides from Uber and Lyft, and browse content created by Instagram and TikTok influencers. How do these platforms emerge and become so deeply intertwined with our daily lives? Who is investing in and working for these platforms, and why? How do platforms operate, and what are the consequences? How do gig platform worker feel about their work and life? What are the changes and continuity of gig work compared to other low-wage work in different times and spaces? Are there any alternatives to how platforms can be organized and operated in today’s world? This undergraduate seminar will introduce and discuss the main concepts and practices of the global platform economy with a particular focus on gig labor. We will critically examine: 1) how external political, economic, and social conditions shape platforms; 2) how platforms shape workers’ labor conditions and activism, and how workers’ actions in turn impact these platforms; and 3) how today’s gig work relates to other precarious work across different time and space, and what can be done to improve gig labor’s working conditions. Following an overview in the first week, the course will tackle different topics analytically, including the emergence and evolution of the gig economy, the social formation and working conditions of gig labor, gig labor’s collective actions, state interventions in gig labor, platform work in a comparative and historical perspective, and platform cooperativism as an alternative to today’s gig economy. The course is reading and writing intensive and will be conducted as a discussion seminar. Credits: 3.00 Status: Open Seats Available: 6/18 Tags: INST-ECON, CES-LC, CES-PD, CES-TI

AS.230.430 (01)	Sociology of Policing and Resistance in Race-Class Subjugated Communities	W 1:30PM - 4:00PM	Weaver, Vesla Mae	Mergenthaler 431	Fall 2026	Description: Policing has become a primary way that many Americans see and experience government, particularly those from race-class subjugated communities, and has been a site of resistance and freedom struggles since the first Reconstruction. In this undergraduate seminar, we will survey key debates around policing and social movements, with a particular focus on research that takes institutional development, history, and racial orders seriously. A core preoccupation of this course will be to understand the ways in which policing “makes race” and how debates about crime, surveillance, and safety were often debates about black inclusion and equality. We will explore changes in the racial logics of policing over time, debates over how policing helped construct the racial order, and the consequences of several shifts in policing for communities. From broken windows policing in New York to the emergence of the new vagrancy-style banishment laws in urban Seattle to the men who live under constant surveillance in Philadelphia and to the large share of blacks in Ferguson with outstanding warrants for ‘failure to appear”, these policies and policing regimes have helped remake the government in the eyes of the urban poor. How does exposure to criminal justice interventions shape political learning, racial lifeworlds, and community social capital? The course will include a range of methods (ethnography, historical analysis, quantitative and qualitative). Credits: 3.00 Status: Open Seats Available: 8/12 Tags: CDS-EWC, CES-LC, CES-RI, HIST-LAW

AS.310.332 (01)	Ethnicity in China	TTh 10:30AM - 11:45AM	Henning, Stefan	Ames 320	Fall 2026	Description: Ever since the Chinese Empire fell in 1911, Chinese have tried to think of themselves as modern and to build a modern Chinese state. Among the Western concepts that Chinese appropriated to define and comprehend themselves were the notions of ethnicity, culture, nationality, and race. We will try to answer the following questions: What was the allure of arcane and elusive Western categories on culture, ethnicity, and race for Chinese scientists in the 20th century, and how did these categories come to underpin the rule of the Chinese state over its enormous population since the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949? How have the Chinese state’s policies on nationality and ethnicity shaped the minds of American China scholars as they study ethnicity and nationality in China?

Peng Lifa, or “Bridge Man,” as he has become known in allusion to Tank Man from the Tiananmen demonstrations in 1989, demanded elections and reforms. How have urban Chinese been able to be so content or even happy despite their lack of political freedom? The class readings will introduce you to different kinds of activists who have confronted the authoritarian state since the late 1990s, among them human rights lawyers, reporters, environmental activists, feminists, religious activists, and labor activists. We will ask whether freedom, an obviously Western notion, is useful as an analytical category to think about China. Does freedom translate across the West/non-West divide?
