different dimensions of political life,
ranging from small groups and citizens’

and political process, but also explores
broad issues of power, conflict, peace,
citizenship, representation, and justice.
■■ An internship related to Politics,
Government or Public Service, can earn

provide valuable international work
experience for your resume!
■■ Take exciting courses such as
‘Government and Politics of the United
States,’ and ‘Massachusetts Politics,’- take

and apply them directly to an internship
at one of the many global and political
organizations in Boston.
