Professor Mc Kenzie received a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Michigan. He studies African-American politics and American political behavior. Prior to joining the Texas A&M University faculty, Dr. Mc Kenzie was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Emory University. He was also a Fellow at the University of Rochester’s Center for the Study of African-American Politics from 2002-2003. His current research focuses on black civic and political participation, American public opinion, and religion and politics. Additionally, Professor Mc Kenzie is interested in general questions regarding citizens’ political attitudes and voting behavior. He is co-author (with Fredrick C. Harris and Valeria Sinclair-Chapman) of Countervailing Forces in African-American Civic Activism, 1973-1994 (Cambridge University Press, 2006), which was awarded the 2007 American Political Science Association’s Ralph J. Bunche Book Award and the 2006 W. E. B. DuBois Outstanding Book Award by the National Conference of Black Political Scientists. The first-ever study assessing changes in black civic participation after the civil rights movement, the book demonstrates that changes in activism are explained by two sets of countervailing forces: black political power and economic conditions in black communities. Professor Mc Kenzie’s articles have appeared in leading scholarly journals including the Journal of Politics, Political Research Quarterly, Political Behavior, Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, and African-American Research Perspectives. He teaches graduate seminars and undergraduate courses on race, ethnicity and politics, American political behavior, and religion and politics.
