Do you ever wonder how your professors came to study and teach political science? In this panel, three political scientists with different specializations and at different stages in their careers reflect on their personal journeys. Then we’ll open for questions and discussion. Whether you are already a major/minor or are thinking about taking your first class, join us for this exploration of diverse paths to seeking an understanding of the political world. Professor Wendy Pearlman will moderate this panel featuring Professor Hendrik Spruyt (International Relations), Professor Chloe Thurston (American Politics), and Rana Khoury (Comparative Politics).
