Overview

At Political Science at University of Louisiana at Monroe political science subfields include political theory, political philosophy, political ideology, political economy, policy studies and analysis, comparative politics, international relations, and a host of related fields.

Political scientists use both humanistic and scientific perspectives and tools and a variety of methodological approaches to examine the process, systems, and political dynamics of all countries and regions of the world.

Where are our faculty's interests?

Each POLS faculty member produces a weekly op-ed column that is carried in the local newspapers. Two faculty members host a weekly hour-long radio show on Fox 92.7 FM that can be heard from Alexandria, Shreveport, Vicksburg and South Arkansas.

POLS faculty have served on the United Way of Northeast Louisiana Campaign Committee and rank among the leaders at ULM in pro bono professional consulting for local cities and towns.

This year, POLS faculty were involved in producing, directing and writing a documentary film that will be featured on Louisiana Public Broadcasting for three years. POLS faculty’s research interests are diverse and cover all aspects and subdivisions of Political Science.
