Richard Ford left Bowdoin before the fall semester. I belive his wife is now out too. Ford has been replaced by author Margot Livesey.

The gov department officially rates highly, but has been somewhat in disarray over the past few years. See this article:

My impression is that the international relations concentration in the gov major is quite strong (I might suggest stronger than American…)

You can check out the language course offerings at the Student Records site.

escape: I recently had an introductory-level anthro class with a professor who was overflowing with knowledge and some great stories… he appeared to be at the top of his field (but was humble about it.)
