Dr. Laurie L. Rice
I am a professor of political science at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and currently serve as Interim Chair.  I am also the coordinator of the Civic Education Project at SIUE. 
I specialize in political communication, the presidency, civic engagement, media and politics, and political behavior.  My research includes presidential influence as well as young adult political participation and civic engagement.
I co-authored the books The Political Voices of Generation Z and Web 2.0 and the Political Mobilization of College Students and co-edited American Political Parties Under Pressure: Strategic Adaptations for a Changing Electorate.
The Political Voices of Generation Z was named a 2023 Choice Outstanding Academic Title.
