Polarized: The Rise of Ideology in U.S. Politics

Wed, November 2, 2016
Dinner Program
Steven Schier

The 2016 presidential election features the two most unpopular major party nominees in the history of opinion polling. How did that happen? 

Steven E. Schier is the Dorothy H. and Edward C. Congdon Professor of Political Science at Carleton College. He is the author or editor of 21 books, including the prize-winning Panorama of a Presidency: How George W. Bush Acquired and Spent His Political Capital (M.E. Sharpe, 2008).

He has analyzed U.S. politics in national newspaper columns and television appearances and is the lead author of Presidential Elections with David Hopkins, Nelson Polsby and Aaron Wildavsky, now in its 14th edition from Rowman & Littlefield.

Professor Schier’s Athenaeum presentation is co-sponsored by the Rose Institute of State and Local Government.
