Personal profile
About
Prof. Mancill joined Georgia Southern University in 2026
My research interests connect political science and higher education, with an emphasis on political behavior, public opinion, national security policy, and civic engagement pedagogy. I am especially interested in how institutions of higher education and faculty contribute to civic learning, democratic engagement, and student development.
