Political Science

In 2011, Syrians took to the streets demanding freedom. Brutal government repression transformed peaceful protests into one of the most devastating conflicts of our times, killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions. In her new book, Wendy Pearlman (Northwestern University) draws upon hundreds of interviews conducted across more than a decade to probe an intimate and universal question. What is home? Syrians now on five continents share stories of leaving, losing, searching, and finding (or not finding) home.

September 17 is Constitution Day. This day commemorates the September 17, 1787 signing of the United States Constitution. Join Middlebury College professors Murray Dry, Bert Johnson and Matt Dickinson, all faculty in the Political Science Department, to discuss American Constitutionalism. Sponsored by Professor Murray Dry and the Political Science Department, with support from CCI.
