| PERSPECTIVES ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Conversations that Matter for Scholarship and Practice
We are pleased to announce a new forum for intellectual exchange among colleagues at the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute. Perspectives on Public Affairs will provide the Humphrey community with an informal lunchtime setting where important public issues can be discussed in ways that cross disciplinary divides and draw connections among the concerns of scholars and practitioners.
Each semester, Perspectives on Public Affairs will host of a series of conversations organized around recent publications that relate to a common theme. The 2007-2008 theme for Perspectives on Public Affairs will be “Visions of Governance.” In selecting this inaugural theme, we hope to draw attention to a set of issues that are of common interest to members of the Humphrey community. Please click on the links below to access reading material for each session.
Lunch for participants will be provided. Please RSVP at least one week prior to Jeremy Gordon at gord0215@umn.edu.
