Food for Thought: The 2012 Election [Lunch Event!]

February 28, 2013Events

Prof. Sides can probably tell you whether a bearded candidate would have made a difference.

Join the UHP and Prof. John Sides, Professor of Political Science and UHP Faculty Fellow, 2012-2013 as he presents on his research over a UHP provided lunch.

Food for Thought: The Story of the 2012 Presidential Campaign (in Graphs!)

“Game changer.” We heard it so many times during the 2012 U.S. presidential election. But what actually made a difference—and what was just hype? John Sides will tell the story of the election in just a few graphs — using a “moneyball” approach that gets beyond the anecdote, folklore, and conventional wisdom that often pass for election analysis.

Tuesday, March 19th from 11:30am-12:30pm in Ames 101Q (MVC).
Seats are capped at 15, so register now!

The History That We Are

“When I left the auditorium, I was speechless. For a brief moment I felt as if I had a glimpse into the ground and foundation of the world. In my inner being, something was touched that had been asleep for a long time.” That is how one person described the experience of listening to Martin Heidegger present his philosophy in 1929 (Heidegger is one of the most important and controversial philosophers of the 20th century). In this Food for Thought talk professor Ralkowski will present an overview of Heidegger’s philosophy of education and try to make sense of what Heideggar meant when he said that the history of metaphysics is “the history that we are.”
