The Department of Government is a community of theoretically-sophisticated
and policy-engaged scholars and students. We have a teaching mission, a
research mission, and a service mission. In teaching, the Department seeks to
provide its students with the theoretical and practical knowledge at the
heart of the discipline of political science and to develop skills that will
be important within and beyond the discipline. These skills include critical
thinking, writing, and communicating abilities that will enable our students
to be productive citizens and leaders in their chosen fields.
The Departmentโs research mission is to produce scholarship that meets the
highest disciplinary standards for excellence and contributing to
contemporary political debates. We emphasize hiring and retaining faculty
members who will contribute to these efforts and expend considerable energy
creating an intellectually open and challenging environment.
Georgetown's Department of Government is a leading full service Ph.D. program
in political science in the United States. Our asset is our strong,
research-oriented faculty. Our faculty have published in the top university
presses and academic journals across a wide range of substantive areas. Below
you can find a selection of recent faculty publications.
