The Political Science Independent Research Showcase (PIRS) features the research, scholarship and creative activity of TCNJ Political Science students. The Showcase highlights significant work that results from deep engagement in the scholarly or creative process. Students present work that they have already prepared or presented for another purpose such as Independent Research, a Capstone course, a conference presentation, or some other outstanding scholarly/creative experience. In many cases, this will be work done in collaboration with a faculty mentor, but the student is the primary author and presenter of the work at the Showcase.
The 2024 Political Science Independent Research Showcase (PIRS) will be held on December 4, 2024. Join us to support the projects & research of your fellow Political Science students.
