What Hampshire College says about their program:
Politics can serve as the driving force behind a concentration, but may also supplement a larger project. From natural science students who will likely encounter issues such as environmental justice and socioeconomic determinants of public health at some point in their concentration to students of literature who analyze the political implications of a literary movement, politics seep into many Hampshire concentrations.
Political debate is also quite lively outside of the classroom as political activism thrives on campus.
