Ideas have a life. When the life of ideas connects to the individual lives and experiences of students, I remember that ideas aren’t just abstractions. To remember that is to remember why I got into this business in the first place.

Associate Professor
Global Studies
I chose to double major in Political Science and Global Studies after participating in the CLU Oxford Program. Prior to this, I was much more focused on American government and politics, but developed a more holistic view of governance and interdependency between countries and regions while I was abroad. This piqued my interest in international affairs, so I decided to add a Global Studies major to expose myself to the study of new (to me, at least), complex issues I was becoming more and more passionate about.

Sociology
Sociology and Political Science major Maria Reyes studies the identity construction of first-generation Latina college students, who are viewed as a new generation navigating the world between two different cultures and identities. With her research, Reyes aims to figure out how the American and Latin cultures are mixed and result in this distinct identity.
