Identity, Power, and Politics Research Workshop

1 unit

This graduate seminar brings together students whose research examines how gender, race, sexuality, class, and other axes of identity shape political power, participation, and representation. Spanning the traditional subfields of political science, the course provides a forum for presenting and refining research that investigates the experiences, representation, and influence of groups historically excluded from political power. Students will share work in progress, offer and receive constructive feedback, and develop professional skills essential to publishing and presenting research. The seminar also builds a collaborative community of scholars committed to expanding the study of politics to more fully capture the diversity of political actors, institutions, and experiences. Regular attendance and participation are expected for students whose work engages with questions of identity, inequality, and representation, and encouraged for others with related interests.
