Hello Dr.Emily 🙏🏻🤍 You know I do love politics and I want to study it and because of that I’ve watched your videos and they gave A LOT OF information so thank you so much for that.🙏🏻🙏🏻 But I heard something sad and disappointed me so i thought to ask you about it, you know I will study politics in the US but now I don’t live in USA and I will go with my family as “immigrants” but someone told me that because of that they won’t let me study it since I’m a refugee 💔 {he means the university and the law by they} Please tell me is it true because it made me feel sad ???
I mentioned I would provide a list of readings on Modernization theory. Here you go: 1. Inglehart and Welzel (2005). Modernization, Cultural Change, and Democracy 2. Ansell and Samuels (2014). Inequality and Democratization 3. Przeworski et al. (2000). Democracy and Development 4. Weyland (2014). Making Waves 5. North (1990). Institutions, Institutional Change, and Economic Performance 6. Handelman and Brynen (2019). Challenges in the Developing World 7. Burnell, Rakner, and Randall (2017). Politics in the Developing World
I think a big issue with this is that modern far left progressives are anti Liberal. Many of them are socialists Marxists. These are things that we do not support or seek to foster internationally or here at home. I believe a lot of the complainants about left wing indoctrination on campus are referring to that ideology, not liberalism. Conservatives are themselves a subset of Liberals ideologically speaking. we tend to use the term Liberal differently in the the U.S., but from an ideological prospective U.S. conservatives are more liberal than the modern U.S. progressive movement in many way. I think it is the dominance of authoritarian progressive ideas at U.S. universities which is new and which is what people are complaining about and taking issue with. I am a center left liberal and even I have noticed it and am deeply alarmed by it.
I appreciate how you have framed your response to the indoctrination question. I agree with you. My granddaughter is a high school junior who has expressed an interest in studying political science in college. I support her interest but worry about the polarization that exists in our current political system. It must be challenging for a professor to engage in spirited dialogue when extremist on either side of an issue want to shout you down. I would think that must get very frustrating for both the professors and the other students in the class.
I work very hard to create a learning environment, rather than a debate floor. I want all our conversations to be framed in the science of politics, not emotional outbursts about personal political opinions. It can sometimes feel like a fine line but it's important to cultivate the skill of listening to understand, rather than to respond.
Thank you for this, it was interesting learning about modernization theory and how it can help to explain the current political climate on/off campuses.
i will purse my MA political science degree from Indian institute and i also wanted to pursue my PHD program but from outside of India in political theory.can you suggest some best institute for political science theory and what will be the process?
hello dr emily i am really struggling in chosing my major between political science and international relations please can you elaborate the diffrences between the two i really appreciate your helpful videos
IR is a subfield within the discipline of political science. So, depending on the university department, they are most likely to have a political science program and within that program you can choose a "track" or "focus." So, for example, at my university we have an "American Politics" track and a "Comparative/IR" track. Everyone graduates with a degree in Political Science. That is the broad discipline, but you can choose to specialize in IR. Now, some departments with a robust enough selection of faculty and class offerings might have an entire program just for IR. But this is rare. It's more likely you will major in Political Science with a focus in IR. IR-specific masters programs are more common than at the undergrad level. Hope this helps!
There are so many great programs and if you're talking international placement, it's quite literally impossible for me to make a cohesive list, especially since, at the level of the PhD, it matters less about the university and more about your specific interests and which professors could best mentor you through a dissertation. Think about what your interests are--what do you want to study/research. Then look for the names of faculty doing similar research. Find out where they teach. Find out if they teach at programs with a PhD program. If they do, apply to those programs. Hope this helps!
I do not have specific data on the percentage of master's students who get into fully funded PhD programs. I'm honestly not even sure where to look for that kind of data. All I can say is that the PhD program in the US is over saturated at the moment and competition is fierce. It never hurts to have a master's degree or real work experience before applying to make yourself more competitive.
@@DrEmilyMaiden thanks a lot Dr emiley 🙏 how can i get Full scholarship in my masters in political science, i scored 61 percentage in my graduation. If i will do part time job with my masters then i will fail in my masters
@@vipinchaudhary_12 It's very difficult to get a fully-funded position for an MA in political science in the US. Most MA programs are for-profit for the university, so you'll be expected to pay out of pocket. The full-funding opportunities come at the PhD level. There are some full-funding opportunities at the MA level, but they are few and far between and would be highly competitive. Do you research for the specific programs that interest you and explore whether they offer any funding/support for MA students. Sometimes you can get a partial scholarship or tuition remission for doing things like taking a TA position or RA position. Hope this helps!
@@DrEmilyMaiden i am in first year of my masters in political science. If i will get fully funded scholarship for phd program then i will definitely want to meat you once to say thanks to you 🙏🙏😊
I have a couple videos on my channel on career opportunities post-graduation with a political science degree. I include some job-hunting links! Check them out!
@@DrEmilyMaiden thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 WHAT IF AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT FAIL IN COMPS TWICE/THRICE AND HE/SHE IS GETTING SCHOLARSHIP AND MONTHLY STIPEND FROM UNIVERSITY. WILL THEY DEPORT THE STUDENT? WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS FOR AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT AFTER FAILING IN COMPS TWICE/THRICE I AM PARTICULARLY TALKING ABOUT PHD IN POLITICAL SCIENCE.
@@vipinchaudhary_12 This is something that I imagine to be specific to each program. You'd have to ask your program administrator the policy on failing comps. Your advisors don't want to see you fail even once, so I would imagine they would work with you and provide more hands-on assistance should you need it on preparing better for your next comp. It is possible that after a second attempt you may be given the option to Master's out of your program. Again, this would be so specific to each program I cannot offer a blanket explanation of policy.
@@DrEmilyMaiden you have helped me a lot ... thank you so much..🙏🙏 2 final question 1- someone told me that phd in political science is equal to 2 full time job. You have to work very hard to achieve it. 2- how many average students you know that fail in their comps (particularly in political science ) You can also tell me in percentage because someone told me this that there is an advisor who don't want to pass their student in phd program and insult them it might be exception but it is real incident
@@vipinchaudhary_12 1. Yes, doing a PhD is incredibly physically/mentally/emotionally taxing. The work comes in waves so there are definitely times where it feels like you have multiple jobs at once.
Political Science is no Science. You should teach history. You should teach civics. You teach the constitution etc. If you are teaching left wing drivel in slow motion won't make it any better. I took a masters degree in history when I was over 50. Some, but not all the profs, acted like kommisars indoctrinating the cadres.
I won't engage in gaslighting of any kind, so I'll not comment on your own experiences in a history MA program. But I would like to point out that history, civics, and constitutional studies are all central components of each political science class I teach. Additionally, there is certainly rich debate about whether any of the social sciences can seriously claim the title of being a "science." Some political science programs go by the name "political studies" or "department of government" for this reason. Have a great day!
@@DrEmilyMaiden Gramsci ordered the cadres to make the long march through the institutions. The universities were the first milestone. They resemble ideological struggle sessions more than truth seeking enterprises. How do I know? By their fruit I know them. You professors have produced a flock of morons who despise Western Culture in general and their native homeland in particular. Nice job.One day the red guard may turn on you. Then it will be to late.
@@russiansolaris9159 I think I was actually over 60 when I got my MA in history. I already had a law degree, an MBA and an MA in linguistics. Of course I was exposed to various theories of history and linguistics. I found them unpersuasive. Economics comes close to science but politician ignore incites that don't suit their short term interest. I read 100 books a year, mostly works of history in English. I also read a handful of works in foreign language. The only lesson I have drawn from history is that, in the West we have created a system which produces greatest prosperity and freedom. What it will never produce is a equal distribution of the risks and benefits of industrial society. Justifying this "inequity" is very difficult in a one-race society. It is nearly impossible where one race does worse than another. The solution I fear is Ein Land, Ein Volk, Eine Erbschaft. At 76, I won't live to see it. God help my children and my grandchild.

@@DrEmilyMaiden As a political science major, I can back up what Dr. Maiden is speaking about. Two of my most advanced classes are discussing Western European Government and Politics and Political Psychology. Both are of science in terms of defining different political parties, different values each has, and the historical & culture perspective everyone has. There are plenty of kids in my class who strongly disagree with our professors based on their knowledge and background. They are acknowledge publicly (if they speak publicly) and acknowledge privately if discussed. It’s respectful conversation between both the teacher and the student. I’m sorry that there is this feeling that the system is rigged against right-wing thought, ilmaestro305. Plenty of my discussions with international friends has been widely diverse and plenty of my friends disagree with one another, but we stay respectful and discuss the “why” of our thoughts rather than just the “what” we want. Political science to someone not taking political science can look as if indoctrination is occurring. There was a study done recently (I can dig it up if needed) that showed that there are predominantly liberal universities and colleges, but that did not impact our values. It just developed our train of thought.
