Politics (POLIT)

Being a politics major is not simply about studying governmental institutions, elections, parties, and interest groups. The study of politics addresses the full range of human political activity, from personal political transformations to world-shaking revolutions. In courses in the Politics Department, students grapple with issues of oppression, war, racism, freedom, terrorism, community activism, civil liberties, justice, power, globalization, social movements, nationalism, gender systems, ethnic conflict, labor relations, equality, imperialism, poverty, civil society, and economic development.
