Our Purpose:
PSC-5280 seeks to provide an objective take on Colorado politics from a political science perspective. From elections to legislation, and at the state and local levels, our mission is to add a more nuanced and theoretically driven discussion of politics in the Centennial State that goes beyond the usual content of a soundbite or social media feed. The content provided is a result of faculty-student collaboration at MSU-Denver, but does not reflect the opinion, positions, preferences or official policy of MSU-Denver.
Who We Are:
Robert R. Preuhs is Professor of Political Science at MSU-Denver. His work on state politics, racial/ethnic politics, and representation has appeared in a variety of peer-reviewed journals, and he is co-author of the award-winning book, Black-Latino Relations in U.S. National Politics (Cambridge University Press, 2013).
