Which policy interventions actually work and which fail to meet their goals? Answering this question is essential to improving public and non-profit services and securing further funding for worthwhile projects. This course aims to give students the ability to comprehend policy research and evaluation, as well as the tools to design and conduct basic qualitative and quantitative analysis. Students will apply these practical skills in assignments that ask them to design evaluations or analyze data to assess the effectiveness of policies. Topics will include data analysis using statistical software, but no previous programming experience is necessary.

In this course students will learn about U.S. tax policy and apply their knowledge by preparing taxes for Hartford residents at Trinity's VITA Tax Clinic. Tax policy in the United States is a key site of government redistribution-a place where economic inequality can be mitigated or reinforced. This course explores central elements of tax policy with an emphasis on the politics and policies that led to the growth of social tax expenditures, including refundable tax credits. Students will receive training to become IRS certified tax preparers, and each student will prepare taxes for a regular shift at a VITA site near campus. An enhanced version of this class fulfills the PBPL Internship Requirement.
Students interested in the course should contact the professor to submit a brief application summarizing their interest and relevant experience at least ten days prior to registration. Later applications will be considered if spots remain. |

Protestant reformers started American prisons as a benevolent alternative to torture. Christian morality still underlies American laws of repentance-even the name penitentiary comes from religion. Yet, in our era of mass incarceration, America incarcerates more people than any other country, disproportionately imprisoning people of color. This course conceives of incarceration broadly to ask: whom do we punish and why? Whom does the American state consider worth saving and how? And, what can religion nevertheless offer people who are incarcerated? Sources include a court case against evangelical reform programs, poetry from the Japanese American incarceration, and visionary fiction for prison abolition. |

How do politics shape the development of education policy-making at all levels of government in the United States? What roles do the public, interest groups, community groups, and elected officials play in the creation of education policy? These questions will guide this course as we examine the highly political environment of education policy and the simultaneously diffuse nature of power. We will begin by studying the history and federalist structure of education in the United States. We will then explore the influence of politics on some longstanding education policy debates. These issues will guide our inquiries as we turn to an exploration of the modern era and consider some of the major policy debates of today. |

Topics include mandatory minimum sentences, plea bargaining and prosecutorial discretion; the criminal procedure revolution of the 1960s and its aftermath; false confessions, forensic evidence, and post-conviction review; and probation, diversionary programs and sex offender registration. It also will consider constitutional limitations on governmental search and seizure in an age of technological change and the evolving understanding of the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Finally, the course will examine the interaction between the criminal justice system and societal concerns over the use of force by police. |

Why are religion and race perennial issues in public schools when the U.S. Supreme Court declared school segregation and school prayer unconstitutional over half a century ago? And, how are religion and race connected in educational history? In this course, we explore these questions by studying court cases, policies, and grassroots campaigns on topics such as public school Bible-reading, book banning, and holiday celebrations. In doing so, we evaluate how the intersecting colonial histories of American religion, race, and education have made public schools key sites for the moral formation of American children, and therefore, of negotiating American identity. |

Since gender is more complex than a binary, we focus on how lived experience and institutional context shape gender's impact on legal outcomes both historically and contemptuously. Recognizing the impact of time and place, our focus ranges from local bar associations to high courts in both the U.S. and abroad. |

Lawyers, judges, politicians, and others often invoke history to support the arguments they wish to make. The use or misuse of history in constitutional interpretation can have significant consequences for the equality of all citizens, including women, African Americans, and Indigenous people, as well as for the future of our democracy. This senior seminar will study topics which lie at the intersection of law, history, and public policy, including the contested terrain of Second Amendment gun rights and gun control; the debate over whether our nation began with a proslavery or an antislavery Constitution, and why that question still matters today; and arguments over the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. |

In this course we will explore the causes of neighborhood decline, examine the history, current practice and guiding policies of community development, and see firsthand selected community development strategies at work in the local communities surrounding Trinity College. We will pay close attention to the influence of ideas in good currency in the field of urban development such as smart growth, transit oriented development, land-banking and place-making. The course is organized around four questions: What are the underlying forces behind neighborhood decline? How and why did community development emerge? How has community development practice reconciled itself with current concepts that guide urban development such as new urbanism, smart growth, place-making and land-banking. What does the future hold for disinvested communities and for community development practice? |

Through economic analysis we will explore how market systems can be used to achieve policy goals and determine most effective government interventions when market failures occur. We examine the effects of policy alternatives including equity, efficiency, and effectiveness on a variety of policy areas such as taxation, education, social insurance, government debt, and healthcare. |

State and local governments play a vital role in governing, policy innovation, and the delivery of services in the United States. Their importance has arguably increased in recent decades with the trend toward devolution of government to the state and local levels, the use of referenda, and the central role of states in battles over social issues. In this course we will review available social science research to consider the central issues and challenges of governance at the state and local levels. We will examine differences between states’ political cultures and their implications for public policy, compare federal versus state and local provision of social services, and consider the significance of the use of redistricting, recalls, referenda and initiatives in political struggles across the country. |

The Practicum is a semester-long opportunity for students to apply and expand their knowledge and technical skills by performing an actual consulting engagement for a public sector client organization. Practicum students will work in small teams to analyze and make recommendations with respect to issues of real significance faced by their clients. Each engagement will combine research, project planning, and problem-solving challenges, as well as substantial client contact. Client organizations are selected from across the policy spectrum to better enable students to pursue subject matters of particular relevance to their studies and career interests. Each engagement will culminate in a final report and formal presentation to the client organization. The Practicum instructor will provide careful guidance and participants will have opportunities to share ideas, experiences, and best practices. |

How do competing theories explain educational inequality? How do different policies attempt to address it? This class will consider the intersections of race, class, gender, and sexuality in the examination of educational inequality. Possible topics include economic and cultural capital, racial/gender/sexual identity formation, desegregation, multiculturalism, detracking, school choice, school-family relationships, and affirmative action. Student groups will expand upon the readings by proposing, implementing, and presenting their research analysis from a community learning project. |
