Welcome to the Department's Blog!

So, this is an experiment... our department's first attempt (and mine) at a blog. The idea here is that you can look to this blog as a convenient place to learn about upcoming department events, find announcements about internship or job opportunities, and perhaps learn a bit about the activities and accomplishments of students, faculty, and staff in the Department of Government and Politics at Humboldt.... we'll just have to see how it develops!

Please email me with your thoughts or suggestions, as well as any material to post here (all faculty should have already received information on how to post material directly).
