RICE POLITICAL SCIENTISTS READY FOR PRIMARY SEASON

The political science department at Rice
University offers an array of faculty members who can analyze
campaign developments during the primary season, which begins with
the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 12.

While the following list provides direct contact numbers for
professors, class schedules and student meetings often make it
difficult to reach faculty members. News Office staff will work with
reporters in tracking down Rice resources.

We look forward to working with you during the primaries and
again during the fall general election campaign.
