Emeritus Faculty
In our political science department, an emeritus faculty member is a retired professor or teacher who has dedicated many years to teaching and researching political topics. They’re given the title ’emeritus’ as an honorary recognition of their contributions. Even though they’re retired, they might still have access to resources or continue to contribute in some way. It’s a way to honor their expertise and experience in politics.

Dr. Mary Caputi is retiring from her role as professor of political science at Á½ÐÔÉ«ÎçÒ¹State University, Long Beach. During a distinguished career in academia and at Long Beach since 1995, Professor Caputi has been a dedicated teacher with a passion for political theory and feminist thought. She also held teaching positions internationally, including at John Cabot University in Rome and the University of Venice, Ca’ Foscari. Her retirement marks the end of a remarkable career, leaving a lasting legacy of academic excellence and dedication to her students and colleagues. Dr. Caputi’s research focuses on feminist political thought, critical theory, and slow culture. She has authored several influential books and numerous scholarly articles, contributing significantly to her fields of study. She has been especially passionate about helping students, particularly those struggling at school and personally. She has also inspired many to go on to explore subjects such as climate change and the slow movement and has been particularly heartened by those expressing interests in city planning or public policy to bring the humanity of slow cities back to the United States. As Dr. Caputi embarks on her retirement, she leaves behind a legacy of academic excellence, significant research, and unwavering dedication to her students and colleagues. Her contributions will continue to inspire and influence the academic community for years to come. - Written by Anand Commissiong
