Congratulations!
You've found Craig Brians' Home on the Web

Welcome to Craig Leonard Brians' Home Page. This page (and several similar pages) are the product of too many sleepless nights spent in HTMLland.  Craig Leonard Brians, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia.

• Current Courses
• This Summer II (2008) Semester I am teaching Introduction to US Government and Politics (PSCI 1014).
• In Spring (2008) I am taught Research Methods in Political Science (PSCI 2024), and Graduate Research Methods in Political Science (PSCI 5116).
• During the Fall (2007) Semester I taught (Honors) Introduction to US Government and Politics (PSCI 1014h), and Public Opinion (PSCI 3224). In Fall, 2004 I taught Voting and Elections (PSCI 3234). I last taught Political Communication (PSCI 3244) in 2001 and a graduate seminar in Political Behavior (PSCI 5344) in 2000.
• Research
• Feel free to browse my Vita and some of my current writings.
• Among the political science journals I regularly follow are Political Research Quarterly (PRQ), the American Journal of Political Science (AJPS), the Journal of Politics (JOP), Social Science Quarterly (SSQ), Electoral Studies, Public Choice, PS: Political Science and Politics, and -- of course -- the American Political Science Review (APSR). A more extensive listing of journals is available at WVU.
• When writing papers, document your references using the Style Manual that I've developed for my classes.
• Humor
• An off-beat law-related strip Law Comix, written by my buddy, Charlie Fincher, a Texas lawyer. Although now in hiatus, the best political comic strip on the Net Thadeus and Weez was also written by Charlie.
• Some of the best comedy and humor available on the internet is located in my very own joke index. Only a tiny fraction of my library is here thus far, but I'm still downloading it. If you like what you see, e-mail me and I'll add you to my eclectic sporadic humor distribution list.
