<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I'd like to ask how conservative or liberal is Wellesley's econ department? Is it anything like UChicago's conservative econ department embedded in a liberal campus (as almost all are)? what about its poli sci department?</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>I am a senior econ major, so I think I have a pretty good idea–the professors try to keep their opinions at least somewhat to themselves, but I would say it is NOT a very conservative department. The sentiments I hear expressed off the cuff in class and my knowledge of my professors’ research indicate that they are pretty liberal. You can peruse the faculty profiles and papers here: [Wellesley</a> College — Faculty & Staff](<a href=“http://web.wellesley.edu/web/Acad/Economics/facstaff.psml]Wellesley”>http://web.wellesley.edu/web/Acad/Economics/facstaff.psml)</p>
<p>I am less familiar with the politics of the polisci department so I’ll let someone else speak to that.</p>
<p>Indeed, you’re in quite an ‘advantageous’ position to speak =]
Really appreciated, thanks!</p>
<p>anyone willing to speak for poli sci, or add more to econ?</p>
