Paideia

Paideia is Cal Poly SLO's one and only journal of Political Science. We publish the top academic research of our talented students, spotlight accomplished POLS alumni, and highlight the extraordinary achievements of our campus’s outstanding Political Science clubs and extracurriculars. At Paideia, students Learn By Doing by engaging with Political Science peers, expanding professional networks, and gaining valuable experience in the writing and publishing process of political academia!

Paideia started as a senior project in the 2013/14 school year. Every year since, Paideia grows in its professional reach, campus engagement, and scope, as Political Science majors, minors, and MPP students learn by doing at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
