Political Science and Criminal Justice Faculty and Staff

Dr. Kincaid teaches as an Associate Professor in the Political Science Department. She concentrates on State and Local Politics as an area of academic interest, informed by twenty five years of elected political office in local government. 

Dr. Damir Kovačevič joined our department in 2018. He teaches courses in the areas of international relations and comparative politics, specifically, Introduction to World Politics, International Conflict, International Relations Theory, Culture and Politics, and U.S. Foreign Policy. His research agenda is twofold: his primary area of study is comparative genocide studies, primarily in the former Yugoslavia and the local dynamics of ethnic cleansing and political violence broadly. His secondary area of research is in the field of international relations theory, norms, human rights, and the use of unconventional weapons in warfare. 

Adam Kunz joined our department in Fall 2021. His scholarly interests are in contemporary political theory, existential threats to human flourishing, the limits of freedom of religion, and jurisprudence. He teaches courses on constitutional law, contemporary political theory, and the history of liberalism. A theme of his courses is translating rigorous theoretical knowledge into practices that build solidarity among citizens, temper individualism, and promote a more egalitarian society.
