Reading Recommendations

• LANGUAGE DISCLAIMER: Political Science is the study of power—who gets what, where, and when. Exploring this often involves examining historical events, figures, and texts that may include language that are considered unacceptable by today's standards. Additionally, some of the content in the readings may be emotionally challenging or triggering. Please engage with the material at your own pace, and be sure to take care of yourself as you do.
