Faculty Spotlight

Meet Dr. Sukala! Assistant Professor in Political Science and Honors professor. He is a political theorist exploring the crossroads of religion, politics, and global thought. He studies how different political traditions coexist—or clash—especially as Buddhist ideas meet Western perspectives in our globalized world. From elections administration in Pennsylvania to cutting-edge research in Buddhist and American political thought, he brings real-world experience and big ideas to our Honors classes!

"Learning isn’t a process that happens in a straight-line or in one direction, with a teacher telling you what they know and a student doing their best to listen and remember it. You aren’t always just transferring knowledge, sometimes you’re all trying to discover it together and this is particularly true for a course like Worlds of Buddhism." - Dr. Cory Sukala
