About Donald Tannenbaum (Gettysburg College)

Donald G. Tannenbaum teaches political philosophy at Gettysburg College. The founding editor of COMMONWEALTH: A JOURNAL OF POLITICAL SCIENCE, he has written widely for scholarly books, journals and symposia, served as consultant to the Jacob K. Javits Fellowship Program Review Board of the U.S. Department of Education and to a number of political science departments, and was president of the Northeastern Political Science Association (1993-1994) and the Pennsylvania Political Science Association (1988-1990). Professor Tannenbaum received his Ph.D. in politics from New York University, which named him a University Honors Scholar. In 2002, he was honored with an American Political Science Association/Pi Sigma Alpha citation recognizing him as a recipient of a campuswide teaching award, which he attributes, in part, to his use of this text in several of his classes. In 2011, he was named chair of the Hubert H. Humphrey Award Committee by the Council of the American Political Science Association. Briana L. McGinnis is an assistant professor in the political science department at the College of Charleston, where she teaches courses on political theory and public law. She previously taught at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and at McGill University. In addition to contributing to a number of scholarly books, Professor McGinnis has published in such journals as the JOURNAL OF POLITICS and POLITICS, GROUPS, AND IDENTITIES. Her work centers on inclusion and exclusion in democratic societies, with a particular focus on political expulsion -- or banishment -- in both the history of political thought and contemporary theory. She earned her Ph.D. in government from Georgetown University.
