I whole-heartedly agree. I think many students write him off or challenge his teachings because he is part of the "Calgary School" and they miss out on how much wisdom and insight the man has to offer. Lucky you for having him as a graduate advisor!!
I think you're right though, students from not just Political Science, but Biology, Sociology, Anthropolgy and a bevy of other disciplines could learn ALOT from this couse. The Jared Diamond book was probably the best book I read in all four years at U of C.
I did my paper on Colapinto's book "As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who was Raised as a Girl". That book and that course changed my entire outlook on issues of 'sex' and 'gender'.
Good luck in the class.
