Overview

At Politics from Whitman College, issues may include questions of war and peace, democracy, the environment, the politics of development, the impact and legacy of empire, terrorism, justice, race, gender, globalization, transnational networks, immigration, and labor.

The goal of the Politics department at the Whitman College is to cultivate in students a critical ability to interpret political questions from a variety of perspectives.

demonstrate knowledge of the interconnections of political institutions, movements, concepts, and events from multiple intersecting vantage points;

identify important contested assumptions, ideas, and intellectual debates in politics scholarship;

pose critical questions about power relations as they investigate key political questions in a globalizing world;

conduct a focused academic inquiry that demonstrates a critical awareness of competing arguments in response to a key question, an ability to formulate a systematic path of analysis, and the capacity to generate creative findings based on original research.
