The purpose of my proposed departmental honors project is to examine player interactions in the reality TV show Survivor through the lens of IR theory, in order to better understand both IR theory on a micro-scale, as well as to better understand player interaction in the game Survivor.Matthew intends to do a theory-testing paper that examines how IR realism, liberalism, and constructivism are present in the reality TV show Survivor. Matthew will use the skills he learned in IR theory to conduct a content analysis of Survivor.
