do tell...because I don't seem to be able to....

Other than Princeton, which top schools are strong in global justice, international law and/or post-conflict reconciliation and transitional justice?

moving to New Haven in August...will be living in East Rock area....anyone know of any good butchers/fishmongers/fresh produce places? Where exactly is the farmers market? Would you recommend it?

Thanks, tidefan. I was wondering, if RA positions aren't available for the first semester (I have three semesters before I send in my PhD applications), I am planning on taking research design courses (one in comparative, one in IR). I'm hoping that will make up for it. Also, where should I be looking to publish? My school (top 10 poli sci dept) has a Journal of International Affairs that publishes grad students work sometimes. Thanks again.

Hi everyone. I will be attending an MA in International Relations this fall with the intention of continuing on to a PhD in Political Science. My undergrad is in the humanities, so this MA is hopefully going to allow me to make the disciplinary switch to poli sci. What kind of research opportunities should I be looking out for? Working with a professor? Getting funding for a self-designed research project during the summer? Does TA experience make a difference? What about conference presentations/posters and publications? What is a reasonable number of conferences to go to/papers to publish within the first 3 semesters of grad school? Should I take a introductory stats/quant methods series of courses? I am required to take econ, but I'm thinking of adding in stats. My basic question is, if you were in my shoes, what would you make sure you do before applying? Thanks!
