Politics & Policy Program
Senior Faculty Fellow and political science professor Dan Tichenor organizes this program, which examines American political life, public policy, and current affairs. The program includes a speaker series and a colloquia series for scholars. 
Wayne Morse Public Affairs Speaker Series
Cosponsored by the Department of Political Science, this series hosts notable scholars and advocates who present public lectures on current topics in law and policy.
The speaker series for 2010-11 included two American historians and a roundtable discussion that followed the national elections in November 2010.
The speaker series for 2009-10, "Great Expectations: Obama and the Politics of Reform," examined the ambitious reform agenda of the Obama administration.
Politics & Policy Colloquia Series
Scholars from a variety of disciplines share works-in-progress that relate to political life, public policy and current affairs. Draft papers are posted online prior to each colloquium, and attendees are expected to read them in advance. Although authors provide brief introductions to their scholarship, most of the session is dedicated to commentary by discussants followed by free-form discussion.
