Instructor(s)

Dr. Jessi Bennion has a PhD in American Government with an emphasis on behavioral politics. This means there is nothing more interesting to her than trying to understand why people believe the things that they do about politics. She loves teaching courses in the Political Science and Liberal Studies departments. When not teaching, you will find her grabbing coffee with a friend or heading to the family cabin on the Boulder River, south of Big Timber.
