Sangmin Bae, associate professor of political science, is a three-time recipient of the ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï Faculty Excellence Award; she’s published two books, titled When the State No Longer Kills (2007) and Human Security, Changing States and Global Responses (2014), as well as numerous articles and book chapters; and she’s appeared on local television and radio programs. But far more important than the accolades she’s received, Bae’s research is raising awareness for human security issues in the United States.
