Political scientists' homepages
This is a listing of many political scientists' personal homepages. If your professor has a homepage but is not listed, then you can suggest to them to add their name! This is a good resource for browsing what many political scientists are doing across the profession. However, keep in mind the following: professional political science is very different from what is taught at the undergraduate level – don't be put off by what may seem more than a little abstract. An education in politics can lead to a wide range of careers, including public service, law, and journalism.
