Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this lecture class:

Elections are complicated and complex and make us both excited and stressed out. Lucky for us, political scientists have been studying pretty much every aspect of how they work for a long time. In this series, you’ll learn the biggest ideas and most important concepts that actually help us better understand the madness. 

You’ll learn things like:

  • Why is it hard to design a truly fair election?
  • What actually gets people to vote (and why don’t they?)
  • where do our political beliefs even come from (and, hypothetically, how could we change someone else’s beliefs)?
  • This show is a graduate course in the most influential and classic research on American politics – but much cheaper (financially and psychologically), and (probably) more fun.

Please Note: This event is mixed seated and standing room. Seats are first-come, first-served. No outside food or drink is allowed.

Refund Policy

  • Tickets maybe be refunded up to 2 business days before the event.
  • Within 2 business days we may take exchanges for other events at the school's discretion.
