NATCHITOCHES – Jacob Mullican, a junior history major from DeRidder, discussed his research during the Feb. 27 meeting of the Louisiana Political Science Association at Northwestern State University in which political scientists from around the state took part in panel presentations, poster presentations and round table discussions. The Louisiana Political Science Association was founded in 1972 to give political scientists across the state the chance to present current research and afford graduate and undergraduate students an opportunity to sharpen their research and writing skills.
