2-Week Summer Seminars

International Relations: Diplomacy & Development
June 14-27, 2020 (Arrive to GW: June 13, 2020)
This seminar will integrate the exploration of international agencies and their role within the world order with a discussion of the formal workings of diplomatic missions around the world. In this seminar, students will be given an insider’s look into the internal and external work of practitioners within the fields of international relations, diplomacy and development.

Introduction to American Politics: Justice, Equity, and Policy
July 5-16, 2020 (Arrive to GW: July 5, 2020)
Explore aspirations of justice and dilemmas of equality in the United States through law and political science. Students will begin first by examining the structures of the U.S. government and the rights and obligations imposed upon it by the U.S. Constitution. With this as a foundation, students will then explore four dimensions of inequality: race, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity, and immigration, with a fifth dimension, economic inequality, serving as a unifying thread for our discussions.
