6901 world domination (3 credits): Professor Peck, Mr. Lapham, Ms. Austin. One two-hour
lecture period per week is required. Three periods of fieldwork per week are also required.

This course on world domination and dictatorship involves both lecture and practical application
of what students learn.

Students will report to their faculty advisors once a month. Everyone must keep a journal of
revolutions started, governments overthrown, and peasants’ oppressed. Readings include Karl
and Groucho Marx’s masterful essay, “Laughing All the Way to the Throne”, and Chairman
Mayo’s autobiography, Hold the Bacon. This reading list is sure to interest students whose career
plans are to be an emperor, tsar, dictator, or reality-show winner. By the time the course
concludes, students will have gathered all necessary information about what it takes to rule the
world. We will be discussing topics such as propaganda, media manipulation, and telegenic
coronation clothes (including crown-jewel selection). Working in the field, students will set up
spy networks; fieldwork will count as a quarter of the grade. The students’ task is required for
graduation is to outmaneuver everyone else in the course by becoming the first to conquer a
hostile country. Exams also emphasize really practical skills, and theoretical ideas. Students
write only two papers.

Admission to this course and its sequel (Universal Domination) is by permission of the
Department of Political Science. Regardless of age or class rank, applicants should be as
motivated as the average freshman and should try to visit the departmental office for an
interview.
