This team-taught module presents core concepts in research methodology and introduces students to a range of different disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to researching North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The course explores how a range of social science and humanities methods might be applied to the study of historical, political, and social research in the Americas and reflects on common challenges encountered in research design and data collection. Lectures acquaint students with how to read, analyse, and critique diverse kinds of research, while workshops develop practical skills in research design and in data collection and analysis.

This introductory-level module introduces students to key concepts and theoretical debates in the politics of the Americas. The module will provide students with a robust disciplinary understanding of politics, the ways in which the discipline shapes understandings of contemporary political developments in the Americas, and how the region in turn affects theoretical debates in the study of politics. Classes will focus on introducing students to politics as a social science subject and cover key elements of the discipline, including ideas, behaviour, institutions and policy processes. It also explores state forms and functions, and state-citizen relationships. The module adopts a perspective on the discipline of politics that that emphasizes the importance of understanding political processes in a globalized word. Substantive topics and detailed analysis of case studies will be drawn from the Americas, in order to introduce students to the comparative differences and similarities of political processes in Latin America, North America, and the Caribbean.
