A seminar on leadership in various domains, with emphasis on the application of general theoretical principles of leadership. Students will meet periodically to discuss common readings on leadership theory but also devote a large part of the semester to independent study. The independent work will be conducted with the instructor and, when appropriate, other faculty in the program, and will be discussed in the seminar. Students may elect to do independent work in groups of two or three. Evaluation will be based on class participation and a major paper or set of shorter papers.
