  • TIE-U’s first offering: Oberlander’s Political Dynamics and Policy Dilemmas

      08/29/2011
      Austin Frakt

    The first TIE-U (for “university”) offering will be Jonathan Oberlander’s Political Dynamics and Policy Dilemmas (UNC’s HPM 757). I’ll be reading and blogging on some of the papers listed in the course syllabus and, in coordination with Jon, likely some things that are not listed. This is intended to be a service not just to Jon’s students, but to all TIE readers. So, join in, follow along, ask questions, and continue your education. Also, if things go well, I’ll do this again in subsequent semesters, but for different types of courses. Housekeeping:

    • All TIE-U posts will have the “TIE-U tag”.
    • Other tags will note the professor (Oberlander, in this case), institution (UNC), course (HPM 757), and semester (Fall 2011).
    • At the end of this post I will include an index to all posts relevant to this course. It will grow over time.
    • At some point, I’ll make a TIE-U page that will link to all TIE-U courses (premature to do so now).

      As an undergrad at UNC not able to enroll in the course, this is pretty awesome.
