Faculty Experts
Election 2012
For political experts and insights into election 2012, turn to Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts. Emerson faculty are available to speak with media on a range of topics that will be covered in the news during the 2012 election cycle. Among our faculty are journalists, political strategists, and academic experts who have moderated presidential debates, written extensively about President Barack Obama, reported on Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney since his very first campaign, and worked at all levels of state and national politics.
As the home of both former Governor Romney, and of this campaign season’s most watched and most expensive senate race between Senator Scott Brown and President Obama’s former Special Advisor for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts will play a significant role in the 2012 election. The Emerson campus is located near the heart of Massachusetts politics—the Massachusetts State House—ensuring our faculty will be at the center of all the election 2012 action.
Below is a listing of Emerson's political experts and their areas of expertise. To connect with these faculty members, please contact Director of Media Relations Carole McFall: carole_mcfall@emerson.edu, 617-824-8415.
