Research in International Politics
Faculty Director:
Graduate Student Coordinators:
This forum serves as a venue for the presentation and discussion of international relations research primarily (though not exclusively) by graduate students and faculty of Ohio State's Department of political science. Approximately four times each quarter, speakers present on a topic and engage in a spirited dialogue with the participating audience. The program is meant to showcase research in IR at Ohio State as well as provide students with experience making extended presentations in a friendly yet critical professional environment. All topics, ontologies and methodologies are welcome. As a brownbag lunch program, all are welcome to bring lunch to the sessions. Papers can be downloaded from the RIP website. Check back here for the date and location of future RIP workshops. Winter 2010 Schedule Friday, January 15: 12:00-1.30pm Spencer Room, Derby Hall Joshua Wu Title: "Soli Deo Gloria?
