WC’s Goldstein Program in Public Affairs Hosts Book Talk with Dr. Liliana Mason

October 27, 2021 by Washington College News Service

Share

Dr. Lilliana Mason will be the featured guest speaker for a virtual discussion of her forthcoming book, Radical American Partisanship on Wednesday, November 10 at 5pm. Dr. Mason’s talk, “Radical American Partisanship: Mapping Violent Hostility, Its Causes, & What It Means for Democracy” is sponsored by the Goldstein Program in Public Affairs and is open to the public.

The upcoming publication, co-written with Nathan Kalmoe, Associate Professor of Political Communication with Louisiana State University, seeks to make sense of the contentious present and where we could be going with a timely groundbreaking study of radicalism among ordinary American partisans. Just how extreme have partisans in the public become? What drives their radicalism? And what role do they play in advancing or undermining democracy?  Drawing on history and political science the book puts the present partisanship in context, explaining broad patterns of political and social changes that exist today. Learn more here.

“Dr. Lilliana Mason is one of the country’s leading experts on partisan polarization in American politics. Her latest work reveals the challenges the nation faces in dealing with extremism among every-day Americans and the troubling extent to which more Americans are beginning to embrace illiberal political stances and solutions,” said Dr. Melissa Deckman, Chair of the Political Science Department at Washington College.

This webinar-style event is free but registration is required. Registration is available here.
