Latest Maxwell Perspective previews public affairs issues for voters
The
new edition of Maxwell Perspective — the School's magazine for alumni,
students, parents, and other members of the Maxwell community — features
faculty experts who provide background and context for many of the issues that
will be influenced by this fall’s national elections. In the eight essays,
scholars draw in historical background and larger trends to help explain the
likely legacy of choices that citizens will make in the voting booth this
November.
In
addition, the magazine celebrates the 50-year-plus career of historian David
Bennett, who will teach his signature American history course for the last time
this fall. He, too, provides insight about issues in America today, as
they relate to trends and priorities dating back to at least the 1920s.
