Workshops & Activities for Graduate Students in Political Science Comparative-American Workshop (formed Fall 2002) Meets bimonthly on Wednesdays during the semester. Students and faculty present projects in progress or engage in practice conference/job talk presentations. World Politics Workshop (formed Fall 2000) Meets weekly on Fridays during the semester. Students and faculty present project in progress or engage in practice conference/job talk presentations. Participants are from both the department of political science and the department of economics. BU Women in Political Science (formed Fall 2004) Meets two or three times during the semester. Provides an informal atmosphere where graduate students and faculty can interact to discuss the challenges that face women in the discipline and, more generally, provides a support network for female students. Political Science Graduate Student Organization Meets as needed during the semester. As the departmental sub-organization of the university Graduate Student Organization, the PSGSO serves as the governing body of the graduate students. The PSGSO determines how funds allocated from the GSO should be spent and more generally addresses the issues/concerns of current graduate students. The PSGSO organizes two activities annually: the graduate student Fall Foliage Tour (a trip to vineyards on Cayuga Lake for wine tasting with dinner in Ithaca) and an end-of-the-year departmental function (a catered picnic at a Binghamton Mets Baseball home-game). The executive council is composed of second year graduate students. |
