Starting in the fall, the Department of Political Science will host the Pi Sigma Alpha Undergraduate Journal of Politics, which is sponsored by Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society.
“We’re very excited about this development. The journal publishes top undergraduate political science research from students across the nation,” said Zoe Oxley, associate professor of Political Science. “Union’s tradition of undergraduate research was one of the key reasons why our proposal to host the journal was accepted.”
The journal’s editorial board will consist of Pi Sigma Alpha students at Union, who will be involved in reviewing manuscripts, working with accepted authors to make revisions and prepare their manuscripts for publication.
“These students will hone and gain valuable critical thinking, writing and research skills through their participation,” Oxley said.
