The exhibit is a must see when you visit Charleston and runs through March 2, 2019. Several of our faculty were featured in news articles or published on the 2018 Midterms. The John Creed Award extends opportunities for juniors and seniors who excel in the classroom and display a deep intellectual curiosity with an increasing passion for learning beyond CofC. This award supports internships, study abroad, research, and conference presentations and workshops. Please consider making a donation in honor of Dr. Creed, one of the department's most treasured professors. Alumni Spotlight with Michael-Devereaux Louis Bertin While some students start their freshman year with a clear plan for their future, some find a passion during their time in college that shapes the whole trajectory of their life plans. For political science alum, Michael-Deveraux Louis Bertin ’16, a Health Policy class taught by Dr. Archie-Hudson in the fall semester of his senior was the moment that began his journey to becoming executive director of the South Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition (SCHRC).

These women are participants in the annual Girls Write the World (GWTW) Summer Program, of which Hutchinson is director. The program focuses on literature as a vehicle for empowerment, expression and healing, and recognizes the work as both a political and therapeutic tool.

A James Island native, Milliken entered the race in his home district to address what he sees as the district’s most important issues: development and the environment.

Currently he is teaching Contemporary Political Issues and American Government; this spring, in addition to American Government, he will be teaching Religion in American Politics, and Immigration and International Relations as a special topics course. Dr. Sriram has been especially excited to bring his unique perspective as a second-generation Asian American to his students at CofC; a perspective, he feels may be new to many and “has already paid dividends in the classroom.” Read more >> Making Visible the Gendered Dynamics of Immigration Event As immigration policy concerns were heightened this past summer, Dr. Hollis France, political science professor and the director of the Gender and Sexuality Equity Center (GSEC), began to wonder: How did we as a country even get to this point? Dr. France was inspired to organize a panel with three of her colleagues about the history of immigration policy in America and, more specifically, its relationship with gender. She invited three panelists to speak: Mr. Mohammed Iqbal Degia, Professor Briana McGinnis, and Professor Julia McReynolds-Perez.
