Paul Djupe, associate professor of political science, is known for his research at the intersection of religion and politics. He recently was quoted in a “Newsweek” magazine article about evangelicals and the current administration.

Djupe noted, “Evangelicals, really, from the beginning of Trump’s campaign, have been working in symbiosis with the administration. They clearly have their own interests but they are all aboard the Trump train.”

Djupe's expertise was also called upon in a recent article in “Inside Higher Ed” about peer review systems.

Djupe and his co-authors Amy Erica Smith and Anand Edward Sokhey researched peer-review practices in political science and sociology. they found that “that the most visible — and probably vocal — individuals in the two disciplines get the most review requests certainly exacerbates the perception of a crisis.”

The article also noted: Djupe in an interview had some succinct diagnoses for why the quantity problem seems to persist: visible, in-demand “squeaky wheels” making lots of noise — sometimes in the form of a “humble brag,” as in, “‘I do so many, but I can’t imagine saying no.’”
