Info For
Jim Twombly, Elmira College Professor Emeritus of Political Science, recently published his sixth book, Political Scandal and American Pop Culture.
A second edition, the book builds on Twombly’s previous book while analyzing more recent political events and figures such as the deadly riot on Jan. 6 at the Capitol, former congressman George Santos, allegations of election fraud, and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The book asks, “When does a scandal actually enter into our pop culture?” Twombly provides fresh definitions of “scandals” and “pop culture” before investigating a broad range of scandals that have entered our everyday lives through pop culture, from the 1974 Watergate scandal to the more recent “Big Lie” election claims made by former President Donald Trump.
The book has received compliments from Susan Burgess, Distinguished Professor Emerita of Political Science, Ohio University, and J. Michael Martinez, Assistant Professor of Legal Studies, Georgia Gwinnett College.
Twombly retired as an active member of the Elmira College faculty in June of 2023 and has remained an active scholar. Beyond his writing, he is Vice President of the New York State Political Science Association, gives presentations at the Northeast Political Science Association conferences, and occasionally provides political analysis on WENY-TV News. He is also working with Autumn Walden, Elmira College Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, and alumnae Carolyn Phillips '23, on a book proposal about substate secession movements in the United States. Twombly is also under contract with his other co-author, Lisa K. Parshall of Daemen University, for a book about presidential views of federalism.
Twombly authored and co-authored The Progression of the American Presidency, Political Scandal and American Pop Culture, The Preamble as Policy (co-authored with former EC Finance Assistant Professor Robert Irons), Directing the Whirlwind: The Trump Presidency and the Deconstruction of the Administrative State (co-authored with Parshall), and Directing the Whirlwind: Deconstruction, Distrust, and the Future of American Democracy (co-authored with Parshall).
