Jeffrey K. Tulis

Jeffrey K. Tulis is Professor of Government Emeritus at The University of Texas at Austin, where he also held appointments as Professor of Law and Professor of Communication Studies. He has also taught at Princeton, Harvard and Notre Dame. He writes on topics that bridge the fields of political theory and American politics. His work is the subject of a special double issue of the journal Critical Review (2007), where his 1987 book The Rhetorical Presidency is described as "one of the two or three most important and perceptive works written by a political scientist in the twentieth century." That special issue has been republished in 2012 by Routledge as Rethinking the Rhetorical Presidency. A new edition of The Rhetorical Presidency was published in the Princeton Classics series in 2017. More recently, with Nicole Mellow, he published Legacies of Losing in American Politics (University of Chicago Press, 2018). He was a founding co-editor of the Johns Hopkins Series in Constitutional Thought (1988-2010) and he is co-editor of Constitutional Thinking, a book series at University Press of Kansas.
