PC PSC Students' Experience With Senior Research Seminar

Beyond Your News Feed: Understanding Contemporary Politics

On this week's episode of Beyond Your News Feed, three Political Science seniors were asked to share their experiences with their capstone research seminars. Two of the seniors in attendance, Malik Alwani and Addison Wakelin, completed their respective seminars—Globalization and Economic Development and Climate Change—last semester. The third student (and podcast co-producer), Sienna Strickland, is currently in the process of completing her seminar on Black and Latinx Politics. We discuss the structure of these capstones, the students’ research processes and findings, and the challenges and rewards of taking such an advanced class—as well as share some words of advice for incoming capstone students.
