Topic: Research on Environmental Politics Students in this course will conduct semester-long research on a topic of their choice. We begin with several books on environmental politics, mostly from outside political science, to think about interesting and important topics. We will read these books with an eye toward developing researchable questions using the perspectives of political science. For example, we might read journalist and then think about how to examine their insights using political science research designs and methods. Students will develop their own questions and their research can use any theoretical or methodological approach found in political science.
