We are thrilled to announce the fourth Political Science-Prep (PS-Prep), an informational and mentoring event for individuals interested in pursuing doctorates in political science.
The annual event will see our community of graduate students and faculty host a free day of informal panel discussions. This workshop aims to help students who are underrepresented in Ph.D. programs with their applications to study political science at graduate school as well as offer participants the opportunity to ask important questions. Attendees will also be paired with members of our department, who will provide structured feedback on the materials to apply to political science Ph.D. programs.
The Department of Government is actively and intentionally committed to building an inclusive field. While we intend to be more intentional about increasing diversity and support for diverse individuals within our own department, we also feel strongly that we should help underrepresented students pursue training in political science no matter what institutions they’re interested in.
