My name is Tony Spanakos. I have been teaching political science since 1999. I am an Associate Professor of Political Science and Law at Montclair State University and an Adjunct Professor of International Relations at New York University. I have been a Fulbright Scholar in Brazil (2002) and Venezuela (2008). I have been teaching political science since 1999.
I received a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Princeton University in 1995 and a Master’s and Doctorate in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst in 1998 and 2000 respectively. I have taught at Tufts University, Manhattanville College, the University of Brasilia, Touro College, New York University, and Montclair State University among other places. I am the co-editor of Reforming Brazil (2004) co-editor of a book series Conceptualising Comparative Politics (Routledge), and co-editor of a forthcoming special issue of Latin American Perspectives on "the Legacy of Hugo Chavez." I have published research in Comparative Political Studies, Latin American Politics and Society, and Latin American Perspectives, among other journals. My research focuses on state-society relations in Latin America, Sino-Latin American issues, and the BRICS. I have also been working on essays directed towards more general audiences using popular culture as a teaching tool, looking at issues of political philosophy in Batman, Spider-man, Watchmen, Avatar, Iron Man, and The Avengers, among other topics. a CV will be uploaded soonTONY SPANAKOS | [email protected]
