Political Science at Concordia

Welcome!

The Department of Political Science is a research-oriented community of scholars and students dedicated to the pursuit of the highest standards of academic and scholarly excellence. We provide the only English-language graduate program in Public Policy and Public Administration in the province of Quebec and have a Canada Research Chair in Comparative Public Policy. We are proud to host two major scholarly journals; the Canadian Journal of Political Science and Politique et Société. Our faculty play leading roles in major collaborative research projects such as the Quebec Metropolis Centre, and the Centre for the Study of Democratic Citizenship and we also organize the popular Summer Workshops on Social Science Research. We invite you to browse our website to find about our different programs, special events and lectures, as well as the achievements of both our faculty and students.

The Department is proud to announce that Dr. Marlene Sokolon's paper  "Euripides' Medea: The Monstrous Justice of the Scorned"  won the Best Paper Award for the Politics, Literature, and Film section of the American Political Science Association!
