Faculty in our department have links to numerous other units on campus, including Divinity, Economics, Environment, Film, History, Law, Literature, Philosophy, Psychology, Public Policy, Sociology, and Women's Studies. Our faculty focus on asking significant questions about politics among people, among groups, or among nations. Then we use the best method to answer that question, without regard to the disciplinary origin of the method. This ecumenism requires considerable training and study in a variety of methods, but the results are well worth the effort. Our broadly educated students, both undergraduate and Ph.D., have consistently performed at the top of their chosen fields.
Strong community is the center of our social relations.
We are serious about engaging each other, in our work and in our conversations. Faculty are closely associated with a number of programs that encourage interaction and discussion. The shared responsibility we take for our individual efforts is the cause for our recent success, and is the key to our future achievements. U.S. House U.S. President U.S. Senate 214 Perkins Library.
