I am a graduate student in my 6th year, seeking a Ph.D. in the Department of Political Science at Western Michigan University. Originally from Florida, I received my B.A. in political science from the University of Central Florida in 2003, and in 2006, received my M.A. in political science from the same institution.
My research and teaching interests focus on debunking much of what has become accepted as "conventional wisdom," with regards to politics in American socieity. To that end, my dissertation entitled, "The Contours of Judicial Tenure in State Courts of Last Resort: Accountability v. Independence ," subjects numerous claims made by judicial reform groups to empirical scrutiny.
I can be reached at the Political Science Dept. at Western Michigan at (269)387-5680.
