Dr. Paletz was the first professor I worked with when I started my PhD program at Duke in 1998. My very first journal article was co-authored with Dr. Paletz, still cited to this day. In addition to working with him as a research assistant, I spent two summers as a teaching assistant for his popular summer study abroad program in London. The students raved about the program, his teaching style, and his passion for London theater. I have always remembered Dr. Paletz as the professor who helped launch my academic career. I am grateful for his contributions to both my own career and to the field of political science.
