I am a professor in the department of

year as an assistant professor and another as a post-doctoral fellow in

Athens, Ga. I also served as a visiting professor at Yale University in
the department of Afro-American studies. I received my
undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann

Since joining the
faculty at CCSU, I have served on numerous University committees, as
chair of the department of political science, and president of the
faculty senate. My areas of teaching and research specialization are
American foreign policy, international relations, comparative politics,
political economy, African and Latin American politics, and African
American and Race/Ethnic relations. I have published a book
monograph on democracy and race, co-edited a book on African history and
politics and contributed chapters and articles to published books and
