Faculty

The Department's faculty has wide-ranging interests and expertise in the study of political science. In addition to the research specialties of each faculty member, the faculty are building research clusters that connect to related areas of strength across the campus. These include political communication (with special interest in new media), the politics of identity, and the politics of social and economic policy (with special interest in environmental policy).

Recent Books by Faculty Authors provides short synopses of some of their books published during the past five years. Faculty Research interests, publications, and honors and awards are detailed in the individual biography pages for each professor.
