From the mission statement of the school at which I studied political science:

Through our teaching, scholarship and community engagement, we seek to mold global citizens with democratic values. Though our core is firmly based in the humanities—the critical, historical and comparative study of texts, practices, and contexts—we sustain strong ties to our colleagues in the natural and social sciences, the professional schools and beyond. From the multiple disciplinary approaches of history, philosophy and religious studies we investigate those matters that most make us human—mind, rationality and morality, spirit, and memory; our current areas of strength include: history and philosophy of science, intellectual history and history of philosophy, American and global religious history and cultures, environmental history and bioethics, women’s history and feminist philosophy, Native American history and indigenous epistemologies, history and philosophy of politics and the quest for justice; history, philosophy and politics of religion.
