Winter 2026 - Dr. Shiffrin has a very particular tone of voice that could be seen as cold, but know that it is not personal! She genuinely cares about your understanding of the course material and is very well versed in the literature she discusses. Don't be afraid to ask questions! The material can be hard to digest at first, so do not hesitate to vocalize your ideas or questions to Shiffrin. I would love to retake the course with her if she chose a different topic in political philosophy :)
