Race, Ethnicity, and Gender

One of the core strengths of the Department of Politics is the commitment by a wide range of faculty to research and teaching with a focus on race, ethnicity, and gender, and their interconnections. The research group on race, ethnicity, and gender (REG) promotes scholarship, sponsors workshops, coordinates graduate and undergraduate course offerings, and works to attract and retain students who wish to study questions relevant to race, ethnicity, and gender. Our group includes faculty and graduate students from a wide range of backgrounds and areas within the discipline of political science, including scholars who focus on American politics, comparative politics, international relations, and political theory. Note that Race, Ethnicity, and Gender is not a formal subfield in the graduate program.
