Ordinary People, Extraordinary Change (Tues. 9/9)
"Your America: Democracy's Local Heroes" takes a close look at innovative community leaders who are creating political change from the ground up. The creator of NOW on PBS and author of "Your America," John Siceloff, Swarthmore '76, will join the host of NOW, David Brancaccio, Wesleyan '82, in discussing how ordinary citizens got started on the road to change and how they succeeded. From a small-town mayor who took on telecom giants to wire his town for free WiFi to a law student who dug up a 1789 act to revolutionize U.S. corporations' overseas policies, Siceloff and Brancaccio's tales reveal the impact of civic engagement both local and nationally. Siceloff's work has appeared in the Washington Post, and his work at CBS, NBC, ABC, and PBS garnered the DuPont, Peabody, and four Emmy Awards. Brancaccio has contributed to CNN, CNBC, and The Wall Street Journal, and he has won the DuPont and Peabody Awards.

Election Day Roundtable (Sat. 9/13)
In the spirit of democratic debate, The Williams Club invites you to a roundtable discussion about the upcoming presidential election. Professors Alex Willingham, George Marcus, and Leonie Huddy join us for this lively, intellectually grounded conversation. Ask our panel your hard-hitting questions, or simply learn a bit more background to prepare for this controversial election. Williams Prof. Willingham works on policy, practices, and theories concerning access and representation in the political system. Williams Prof. Marcus' areas of interest include political psychology, electoral behavior, public opinion, and theories of democracy with a special interest in the role of emotions in politics. SUNY Stony Brook Prof. Huddy teaches classes about women and politics, political socialization, and the psychology of public opinion, and she has been a CBS poll analyst for over twenty years.
