Laura Altinsoy
I am a PhD student in political science at the Graduate Center, CUNY and a lecturer currently teaching American Government at Baruch College. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Edinburgh and a master’s degree from the University of Dundee.
My scholarly specialization is U.S. hegemony in international organizations, with particular attention to structural power, institutional design, and global governance. I am fluent in English, German, French, and Spanish, which informs my comparative and transnational approach to both research and teaching.
In Spring 2025, I expect to incorporate China-focused content into my courses by examining U.S.–China trade relations and tariffs, U.S. foreign policy toward China, and broader theoretical concepts such as hegemony, unipolarity, bipolarity, and multipolarity. This program will help me deepen my understanding of China’s evolving role in the international system and strengthen my ability to integrate rigorous, contemporary China-related case studies into my curriculum.
