The interests and expertise of the International Relations faculty in the department
cover a broad range of methodological approaches and substantive interests. Those
interests range from global governance, to international norms and institutions, to
security, migration, the environment, and religion and international relations. A
pair of centers housed in the School of Social Sciences offer programs and events
for faculty and graduate students in International Relations. The Center for Global
Peace and Conflict Studies (CGPACS) is a multi-disciplinary program that promotes
scholarly, student, and public understanding of international conflict and cooperation.
The Center for Research on International and Global Studies (RIGS) promotes research
on the interactions of politics, economics, societies, cultures and history in global
and international affairs and sponsors regular research seminars.
