Faculty
Our faculty have worked as campaign advisers, political consultants, for the Peace Corps and the United Nations. They have published research on global governance and Pakistani politics; on how religion, gender, and ethnic identity matter in American politics; on economic development and environmental politics.
And we all really, really enjoy teaching.
