| Sumario: | The writers, founding faculty of the political science program at the University of California campus, UC Merced, discuss their efforts to launch the new program. They outline the comparative advantages and resources they enjoyed, including working with a blank slate; the opportunities for interdisciplinary research and learning; and the advantage of being part of the University of California system. They also outline the constraints and challenges they experienced, including the lack of an institutional history and the absence of program reputation. Finally, the writers set out the progress made so far and future plans. |
