Eight seniors presented their government senior honors theses at the 63rd Annual New York State Political Science Association Conference at John Jay College in New York City from April 24 – 25. The conference provided a venue for scholars in political science and related disciplines to meet and discuss their work.
Panels were run by graduate and undergraduate students as well as professors from colleges and universities throughout the United States. The event drew 200 to 250 panelists, presenters and round table participants.
Allison Gaston-Enholm '09 presented on the theory behind vaccination policy in the United States, Timothy Minella '09 on the diversity rational for race-conscious admissions policies and Kevin O'Connor '09 on the Catholic vote and emerging partisan trends. Amanda Levin '09 debated the moral considerations in industrial animal husbandry. In a panel composed only of Hamilton students, Susan Stanton '09 argued that the government should enact flextime and pass paid leave legislation. Eric Kuhn '09 spoke about the importance of having a network when overseeing corruption, Blake Hulnick '09 tackled the question of state-based Electoral College reform and Deanna Edwards '09 examined the outsourcing occurring in the military and the possibility of a new military-industrial complex.
All eight seniors have been working on their honors thesis for the entire academic year, the first semester under the guidance of Professor Paris and the second semester under various government professors.
