AMS Faculty Lecture Series presents, "Roosevelt v. Reagan: the Politics of 2012 in Context" with Professor of Political Science, Tim Byrnes
Tuesday, March 27, 2012
4:30 p.m.
Persson Hall 226
Political Science Professor Tim Byrnes will place the 2012 presidential election in historical, institutional, and political context. Modern journalists and political commentators tend to view each election in isolation. But political science offers a number of theoretical and empirical frameworks that allow us to view American electoral politics in a much more nuanced and sophisticated way. This discussion will focus on the degree to which today's parties and candidates are in thrall to commitments and strategies that were actually set decades ago. Refreshments will be served.

Professor Anthony Aveni, today's foremost archaeoastronomer, will unravel the myth of 2012 with the Maya Long Count cycle and the precession of the equinoxes through a visualization lab presentation.

A polymath himself, professor Aveni has a wide range of interests and knowledge. Please do not miss this highly-enriching and approachable book discussion with Professor Aveni! We will begin with the presentation in the Visualization Lab, fourth floor of the Ho Science Center, and then proceed to the COOP Conference Room for dinner and discussion.
