Why Political Science?

I am continually fascinated by the political world, and the ways in which individuals interact with that world. I also enjoy the challenge and joy of teaching someone something new.

 

What is your favorite part of your job?

I truly enjoy having the opportunity to explore ideas, investigate new research ideas, and most importantly teaching students. The opportunity to share knowledge, and push students to think more critically is one of the highlights of my job.
