PLEASE NOTE

Faculty whose primary appointment is elsewhere, but who have a “below-the-line” appointment in Political Science. These people are not involved in our academic hiring or admissions but they form an essential part of our teaching and research missions. Many of their courses are cross-listed in Political Science and they are happy to be involved in graduate prospectus and dissertation committees in our department.
