Description
Tufts Alumni West Florida cordially invites our alumni, parents, and friends as we welcome special guest James M. Glaser, dean of Academic Affairs for Arts and Sciences.
Join us at Marina Jack as Dean Glaser brings us “An Intellectual Tour of Tufts,” sharing exciting updates from the Hill.
After serving for seven years as dean of Undergraduate Education, James M. Glaser is now dean of Academic Affairs for Arts and Sciences. In this new role, Dean Glaser is responsible for managing departments and faculty and is part of the leadership team that guides the overall strategy and direction of the school.
As an academic, Dean Glaser is a student of electoral politics and political behavior, as well as the author of two books. Both of them, The Hand of the Past in Contemporary Southern Politics (2005, Yale University Press) and Race, Campaign Politics, and the Realignment in the South (1996, Yale University Press), received the Southern Political Science Association's V.O. Key Prize awarded to the year's best book on Southern politics. Dean Glaser also has published articles in some of the premiere journals in the discipline. At the present time, Dean Glaser is at work on a project looking at group conflict theory and its application to thorny electoral issues. As a teacher, Dean Glaser received the 2000 Lerman-Neubauer Prize for Outstanding Teaching and Advising, awarded to one member of the faculty judged by graduating seniors as having had a profound effect on them intellectually.
