PG 201 | The Commons: Publishing Research on Politics

Students work collaboratively to produce and grow an undergraduate journal on politics. Students recruit and edit submissions to the journal. Students also consider additional opportunities to bring research to new audiences, such as developing spin off opinion pieces, interviews with the authors, or other events on campus. In doing so, students engage in discussions about the purpose and value of academic research and the possibilities and problems with disseminating information. Students gain skills in editing, research, social media, and project management. This work is a collaborative process and involves team work.
