TIMOTHY S. BOYLAN
Biography
Timothy Boylan received his Ph.D. with distinction from Northern Arizona
University in August 1996. He joined the faculty in fall 1996 and is an
associate professor of Political Science. His fields of study include,
American Politics, Constitutional Theory and Law, and Comparative
Constitutional Studies. He teaches classes in Constitutional Law, the
Judiciary, American Government, and Constitutional Theory.
Since 2003, he has focused his research efforts on the European Union’s
efforts to write and ratify a constitutional treaty. During a year-long
sabbatical (2004-2005), he conducted research in 22 EU countries and was
a visiting Fulbright professor at Tartu University in Estonia. His
recent published research has examined the framing, enactment, and
ratification process of the European constitution from a comparative
perspective. In early 2008, he was granted a
study visit to the European Union Parliament, sponsored by the Committee
on Constitutional Affairs.
Dr. Boylan is the Pre-Law Advisor for the University and the Public
Policy Concentration advisor and Internship Coordinator for the
department. During the 2008-2009 academic year,
Dr. Boylan will serve as acting chair of the Department of History.
