|
| D’Andra Orey’s research is in the area of race and politics, focusing heavily on racial attitudes and legislative behavior. Prior to coming to Jackson State, he previously taught at the University of Mississippi (1999-2001) and the University of Nebraska, Lincoln (2001-2008) and is a recipient of the 2008 Julia Cooper Teaching Award presented by the National Conference of Black Political Scientists. Dr. Orey has conducted lectures at St. Anne’s College at Oxford University (Oxford, England), Winneba University in Ghana, Africa, Yale University and Spelman College, to name a few. He has recently received a National Science Foundation grant to create a Political Psychology laboratory at Jackson State University. In 2009, Dr. Orey won a nation-wide competition with TESS: Time Sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences to examine the impact of such trusted sources as President Obama and former President Clinton on racial attitudes. He has published over twenty scholarly articles and book chapters and is currently working on two Book-Length Manuscripts: 1) The Dangers of Black Conservatism; and 2) Strange Legislative Bedfellows: The Intersectionality of Race, Gender and Party in State Legislatures. |
