Description:
The U.S. Supreme Court has certainly made a lot of news recently; its last Term dealing with issues such as Presidential power, gun control,
abortion, and federal agency powers was highly consequential for constitutional interpretation going forward. This course will examine the immediate prior and current Term of the Court beginning in October 2024, in which the Court will be examining issues of gender-affirming care for minors, election law, Internet free speech, and environmental law, among other topics. Enrollees will gain a greater understanding of the legal and political forces that will likely shape the Court’s resolution of the controversies before them.
Matthew H. Bosworth, Professor and Chair, Department of Political Science, Public Administration, and Ethnic Studies, came to Winona State in 1997. Originally hailing from Stillwater, OK, he graduated with a B. A. from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD in 1991. He then received an M. A. (1992) and Ph.D. in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1997. Most of his courses at WSU examine the intersection between law and politics, including Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, Judicial Process and Politics, Constitutional Politics, and the First Amendment.
