JOU, Willy
Associate Professor

Advanced seminars form a key part of the SPSE curriculum. With a maximum size of only 15, the seminar setting allows and encourages students to be active participants in the learning process. For up to two years, the same group of students study common themes under the guidance of a professor of their choice, accumulating knowledge and research skills through presentations and interactive discussions. The theme of my advanced seminars is political culture. Students learn about how political attitudes are acquired, how they can change over time, and what behavioral implications they have.
