CRP 8100 - Seminar in Advanced Planning Theory


     
Fall. 4 credits. Letter grades only.

Staff.

A major objective of the seminar is to promote thinking about what work planning theory  should do, what its scope should be, and how theorizing should proceed.  The qualifier ‘advanced’ in the seminar’s title partly reflects the fact that topics considered go beyond material covered in a typical introductory Master’s level planning theory course.  The focus of the seminar is more on planning theory itself and theoretical work it presumes (e.g. on rationality, the nature of explanation and justification, argumentation, validation of value judgments, the history of deep-seated social norms, public interests and collective action, and utopian thought), and less on substantive matters that planning theories seek to explain or justify.
