2016 U.S. Elections and the World – Tuesdays, led by Dr. Larry Caldwell, professor of politics, Occidental College, and Dr. Caroline Heldman, associate professor of politics, Occidental College. With the world changing rapidly in light of Syria, ISIS, Russia’s assertiveness, China and more, and so much information bombarding the public by the media, class participants will improve their filters for political facts, dig deeper into the world of global and U.S. politics and explore America’s growing dissatisfaction with the election process, 2016 presidential candidates and other related issues.
Understanding Constitutional Issues – Thursdays, led by Dr. Alison Dundes Rentein, professor of political science, anthropology and public policy, University of Southern California. Participants will explore current controversies in law and public policy and learn about various constitutional issues facing U.S. courts and American society.
