International Relations

As a departmental specialization, we offer students an opportunity to study various approaches to international politics and develop specialized knowledge around historical and contemporary problems concerning: war and peace, technology, diplomacy, foreign policy, international organization, migration, religion, environment, and security. Specialization faculty offer field-specific and interdisciplinary instruction on these issues, drawing on research in gender and sexuality studies, postcolonial and decolonial theory, science and technology studies, peace and conflict studies, and other fields to address the complexity of global challenges today.
