Hello! My name is Christine Sixta Rinehart and I am a professor of Political Science at the University of South Carolina (Palmetto College-Union Campus).  I am based at main campus. I earned my Doctorate of Political Science in 2008 from the University of South Carolina.  My major areas of research are US Foreign Policy, Latin American Politics, Middle Eastern Politics, and Eastern European Politics.  I study and publish on maternal health, foreign policy, international terrorism, and counterterrorism (Drones, UAV, and RPA).  I am married to Todd Rinehart and we have been together since 2001.  I have a menagerie including three dogs, five cats, and two guinea pigs.  I have a large garden where I grow everything imaginable and over 50 tea rose bushes on approximately 16 acres of land.  I spend a lot of time outdoors!  I also play rec soccer.  And lastly, I am an artist who frequently displays my oil paintings on canvas and watercolors all over South Carolina.  Although I was originally born and half-raised in Nebraska (and have lived in 5 other states and Spain), I have adopted South Carolina as my forever home. Go Cocks!
