American Politics Seminar
The American Politics Seminar is a year-long speaker series that features leading scholars in American Politics. Invited scholars present cutting-edge research and engage in lively debate with faculty and graduate students. The seminar is made possible partially through a generous grant from the Bankard Fund for Political Economy at the University of Virginia. The Seminar is organized by Nicholas Winter and Amber Mackey.
Most talks are held on Thursdays in Gibson Hall 296 from 3:30–5:00pm, except as noted below for talks we co-sponsor as part of the Batten School's Research Speakers Series.
