Biography
Karen Vogel was born in 1958 and raised in La Mirada, California. She graduated from Pitzer College in Claremont, California with a double major in English and Political Studies. After college, she went straight to graduate school in political science. She completed her graduate work in 1986. She then held a one-year teaching position in the Department of Political Science at the University of Vermont. After that, she spent two years teaching courses in comparative politics and international studies at Washington State University.
She came to Hamline in the fall of 1989, and she was tenured in the political science department in 1995. Currently she teaches a variety of courses in political science as well as women's studies and global studies. She also teaches a course called "Traveler's Tales" in the First Year Seminar Program.
Professor Vogel serves in many capacities at Hamline. She advises the Hamline Model United Nations Club, serves as the campus liaison for HECUA (Higher Education consortium for Urban Affairs), and chairs the ACTC Russian, Central/East European Studies Program. She also works with the political science internship students in the internship field seminar and chairs the Political Science department.
Her publications include work on pedagogy and international studies. Most recently she was invited to participate in the Oxford Roundtable Series on Women, Leadership, and Education at St. Anthony's College, Oxford University, England. Professor Vogel continues to travel the world as often as she can with frequent visits to Europe and Asia.
