Abstract

• Intro to Politics [POL 110] focusing on Democracy and Civic Engagement. Previously incorporated as part of a Service Learning Project with Community Board 1 in Manhattan and affiliated students as volunteers with NYPIRG on voter education, the project will seek to promote citizenship and engagement in political issues, activities and events as well as improve students critical thinking and informed decision making in everyday life on issues that affect them and their communities.

• Students will become familiar with a framework of the various fields and topic areas in Political Science including American politics, comparative politics, international politics and political philosophy and receive additional lecture from the International partner on Federalism and democracy while the local partner will focus on civic engagement in a democracy.
