Department of Political Science

Sam Finch received a BA in Political Science from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania in 2021, and as an undergraduate, he worked part-time as a research assistant at a local history museum.  His research interests include authoritarian politics, democratization, and democratic backsliding.  In his free time, Sam practices art and music, and he enjoys playing video games and watching comedies and quiz shows on television.  He reflects fondly upon his years in college radio, during which he inflicted his unusual tastes in music upon the Mansfield community.
