Comparative Politics Field Seminar

A Comparative Politics Field Seminar Teacher takes you through the doctoral comparative field — the comparative method, states, regimes and democratization, authoritarianism and backsliding, political culture, institutions and electoral systems, parties and voters, ethnic politics, political economy, and contention and civil war — by pairing each argument with its design and best critique. They guide readings, comment on memos and comps answers, coach research designs and build comps plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

International Relations Theory

An International Relations Theory Teacher takes you through the doctoral IR theory seminar — levels of analysis, realism and the security dilemma, liberal and institutionalist theories, the democratic peace, the English School, constructivism, bargaining models of war, psychology, and critical, feminist and postcolonial theory — by asking what each theory predicts and what would prove it wrong. They guide readings, comment on memos and comps answers, coach research designs and build comps plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

American Political Institutions

An American Political Institutions Teacher takes you through the doctoral field seminar — institutional theory and social choice, Congress, its committees and parties, lawmaking and gridlock, the presidency, bureaucracy and delegation, courts, federalism and American political development — by teaching you to state each theory's assumptions and weigh the evidence for it. They guide readings, coach papers and research designs, and build comps plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Political Theory Field Seminar

A Political Theory Field Seminar Teacher takes you through the doctoral theory field — Plato and Aristotle, Machiavelli and the social contract, the Enlightenment and its critics, Hegel, Mill and Marx, twentieth-century thought, Rawls and his critics, and democratic, feminist and critical race theory — by teaching you to reconstruct each argument fairly and test it against its strongest critics. They guide readings, coach papers and build comps plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.

Political Methodology

A Political Methodology Teacher takes you through the doctoral methods sequence — probability and inference, linear regression, maximum likelihood and models for binary, ordered and count outcomes, causal inference and research design, panel data, multilevel and Bayesian models, measurement and missing data — by teaching you to name the estimand and its assumptions before the model. They check derivations, read output, help debug code and build exam plans. AI teaching companions, not your instructor or school.
