Areas of Teaching and
Research
|
|
|
|
|
|
My teaching concentrated on these subjects:
American government, comparative political parties,
elementary statistics, and computer methods for
teaching and research. My areas of scholarly
research largely coincide with these topics,
concentrating more specifically on (a) political
parties, (b) computer
methods, and (c) American
government, including methods of teaching.
Although some of my writings overlap in these
areas, one can evaluate my work better my
considering the items under these groupings. In
recent years, I have been particularly interested
in politics and political science in central Europe
and the Soviet Union, where our English-language
American government textbook is widely used and has
been translated into various languages, including
Hungarian, Georgian, Czech, Russian, and Korean.
Most recenty, I've worked on the collapse of
Austria-Hungary and Slavic immigration to America.
Other writings and academic activities can be found
under miscellaneous.
