Undergraduate EU Conference

Claremont-UC Undergraduate Conference on the European Union

Recently, fellow political science students and myself presented academic research papers at the Claremont-UC Undergraduate Conference on the European Union hosted by the European Union Center of California at Scripps College. Having recently participated in the West Coast Model EU con-ference, we extended our studies of European Union politics beyond the classroom to practical im-plications and furthering our academic/professional experience. Through a combination of course work on “European Politics” (POL 452) and “German Politics” (POL/GER 459) with Dr. Eva-Maria Maggi and individual, outside dedication, we gained the opportunity to present and discuss our re-search vis-à-vis a panel format followed by questions and discussion with the audience and faculty members. The conference covered a variety of topics from “EU Economics” and “European Coopera-tion & Euroscepticism” to “Immigration & Migration” and “Gender & The European Union.” At the end of the conference, the eight “best papers” are selected for publication; two of the four Universi-ty of Arizona students were chosen - my paper, “Gender Disparities in the German Workforce: De-velopment of Female Labor Union Participation and Current Challenges” and Jie Ming Chong’s com-parison paper entitled, “Of Uranium and Carbon: Divergence of Energy Policy in Germany and France.” We expanded our knowledge of European historical and current issues in areas of econom-ic, political, and social policies and individual country’s motivations and preferences through interac-tions between peers and established academics.

The Claremont-UC Undergraduate Conference on the European Union provided students with a brief experience of an academic conference and the peer review process that can easily be applied to future graduate studies, professional engagement, and career pathways. Applying our knowledge and preparation on EU politics, simultaneously learning from other undergraduate students and EU/international relations professors, we were able to cultivate a deeper understanding of cross-cultural relationships at personal, domestic, and international levels. As an upcoming SGPP graduate, participating in the Claremont-UC Undergraduate Conference on the European Union has allowed me to achieve tangible practice with research methods, academic development, and public speak-ing, all translatable skills to my immediate Peace Corps service and goals of earning a Master’s in In-ternational Affairs/working in the United Nations Human Rights Council. For anyone interested in pragmatics, fostering a deeper understanding of the EU as an international actor, and enhancing their academic writing/research skills, POL 452, POL/GER 459, Model EU, and the Claremont-UC Un-dergraduate Conference on the European Union are for you! All of these programs feed into one an-other and develop student involvement, interest, and expertise of European politics.

Best,

Kelly Ancharski

What is theory?

How do scholars, policy makers and the public theorize?

How do theories of International Relations (IR) matter in

today’s complex world?

Join us this fall in an Honors Section of POL/GWS 461

POL/GWS 461: FEMINIST AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS THEORIES

Tuesday and Thursday 11:00 - 12:15

Professor V. Spike Peterson, Ph.D.

Office: Social Sciences: 314C

This course will

explore what it means to theorize and how power operates in knowledge production processes

survey contemporary theories of International Relations and how they shape practices of world politics

examine how theories of IR matter for understanding and responding to structural inequalities of gender/sex, race/ethnicity, class and nationality

familiarize students with feminist perspectives on, and feminist contributions to, theories of IR and Global Politi-cal Economy, emphasizing how gender shapes, and is shaped by, processes of globalization

Gender is understood here not as a synonym for ‘woman’ but as a hierarchical coding of masculinity and femi-ninity that pervades social relations and institutional practices, with systemic (though not deterministic) effects on inequalities. Gender meanings and practices permeate our lives, and a closer look at these processes is more illuminating than many anticipate, with relevance and implications for who we are, how we think, and how we
