Laura Roselle, a professor in the Department of Political Science & Public Administration, has been named a co-editor of the new book series: Routledge Studies in Global Information, Politics and Society.
Roselle will work with Professor Ken Rogerson of Duke University to bring at least three books out each year. Areas are of particular interest include: 1.) research that focuses on empirical support for theoretical and conceptual development in communication and information processes; 2.) research that is historically grounded and temporally expansive; and 3.) research that is comparative and explores the world in both geopolitical and non-geopolitical categories.
Individual and co-authored manuscripts, as well as edited volumes, are welcome. Contact Roselle at lroselle@elon.edu if interested in submitting a manuscript for review.
Having studied the role of the media in politics for more than two decades and currently president-elect of the Internet Technology and Politics Section of the American Political Science Association, Roselle specializes in international political communication. She earned undergraduate degrees in math, computer science and Russian from Emory University where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
She worked as an intern at the Carter Center during her undergraduate studies, and later continued her work with the Carter Center as assistant director of the program on Soviet Media and International Communication. Roselle holds a master’s degree and doctorate in political science from Stanford University, where she served as a teaching assistant to Condoleezza Rice, former U.S. Secretary of State.
Roselle has published articles and book reviews in leading journals, including the Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics, and in the American Behavioral Scientist. Her edited volumes include books on media and democracy and media and elections.
In 2011, she published an updated paperback edition of her book from five years earlier, Media and the Politics of Failure: Great Powers, Communication Strategies, and Military Defeats. Roselle collaborated in 2011 as well with fellow Elon professor Sharon Spray to publish a second edition of Research and Writing in International Relations, a supplementary text for students studying international relations and comparative politics.
