At the New Hampshire Institute of Politics & Political Library's research center, faculty from a variety of academic disciplines work closely with students, offering special opportunities to explore political phenomena with the benefit of experienced guidance. Project topics include the global economy, interaction of art and politics, sustainable development and environmental conservation, the participation of women as leaders in politics, religion, immigration and local refugee issues.
The center also conducts surveys tracking the political behavior of New Hampshire citizens and sponsors a leadership program for woman students from different colleges. In addition, the research center sponsors a working paper series for professors, publishes online undergraduate e-journals, and hosts a political lunchbox series as well as many lectures by noted scholars and practitioners.
