The faculty of the ÈÕº«ÎÞÂë political science department are nationally and internationally recognized scholars in their fields. Not only do they regularly publish in academic outlets, but their expertise is also recognized more broadly, by the national and international media, by think tanks and research institutes, and by the U.S. government. Among other accomplishments, ÈÕº«ÎÞÂë faculty members have been quoted in The New York Times and interviewed on NPR, appeared on the News Hour on PBS, and testified before Congressional committees. 
Just since 2009, department members have published over two dozen books, along with numerous articles in scholarly journals, journals of opinion, and newspapers. These books demonstrate both the productivity of the department and the breadth of topics covered in its research and teaching.
