The School of Politics and Global Studies expands beyond what is taught in the classroom.  It takes a team effort to fulfill the School’s fundamental mission of generating and diffusing knowledge that contributes to society’s understanding of politics and governance at local, national and global levels.

The faculty regularly publish in leading academic journals and presses; they’ve held internationally and nationally competitive fellowships and grants; they have regularly advised domestic and international agencies; and advance research while holding conferences in fields such as Conflict and Human Rights, Women and Politics and Nationalist and Ethno-Religious Dynamics.

Not only does the faculty at SPGS encourage students to understand the nation and world from an institutional perspective but they also emphasize research that links theory with real world issues and action through policy.
