About the Course

UNIV 241,  Thursdays, 6:00-8:50 p.m.
University City Campus

Every four years in the United States, citizens gather to elect a President. This course examines the 2008 election season; but, in doing so, will examine the deeper questions related to this act of democratic expression. How are candidates selected, how do citizens choose, and what role does the media play? Are elections the most important form of democratic participation? How have elections shaped American history and world history?

Upcoming Events

Thursday, October 9th: Professor Allan Lichtman, of American University, will be presenting a guest lecture on his work The Keys to the White House: A Surefire Guide to Predicting the Next President. The model of 13 keys that Professor Lichtman identifies has successfully determined the winner of every Presidential election going back to 1860, and he will discuss those conditions that have already predicted the winner of this year’s election. The talk begins at 6:00 in Disque 108.
