Research Projects
Some of our Political Science majors choose to complete an Honors project on a topic of their interest. Most or all of the work associated with an Honors project is done in the senior year, though it may be begun earlier, and culminates in a research or critical paper or its counterpart in the creative arts.
Here’s a recent sampling of honors projects completed by Political Science majors:
- Isaac DuBois ’19: “Hauntology, Depressed Subjectivity, and the Politics of Hope,”
Paul Passavant, Adviser - Pamela Icyeza ’19: “Sino-African Relations: Evaluating China’s Second Engagement with Africa Using Neocolonialism and Neopatrimonialism Frameworks”
Kevin Dunn, Adviser - Elizabeth Dieter ’18: “Control, Negotiation, Sousveillance: Control Societies, Afro-Pessimism, and #BlackLivesMatter”
