New Course: POSC 357/457 Economic, Environmental, and Health Challenges–The Impact of Democracy.
Join faculty from the disciplines of ecology, economics, epidemiology, medicine, and political science to read and discuss the latest findings about how political institutions impact economic, environmental, and public health outcomes.

Building on this foundation of knowledge, students will work together to investigate the impact of political institutions on problems of their own choosing.
