Wiltse serves the Department of History, Political Science, Philosophy and Religion at SDSU, and specializes in American politics, comparative politics and political behavior. He also serves as the associate editor for the African Journal of Political Science and International Relations.

Jones’ research analyzes political and economic influences on the global agribusiness and food system. Her engagement with industry leaders has put her in the forefront of discussions on repositioning management succession planning to reflect the global nature of agribusiness and food supply chains and the need to build management teams with diverse strengths in life sciences, economic and business analysis as well as cultural and lifestyle diversity.
