Friday, November 4th Convocation: Steve Russell Steve Russell, a Cherokee Indian born and raised in Oklahoma, served for 17 years as an elected trial judge in Texas before becoming an associate professor of criminal justice at Indiana University.
As a leading urban sociologist, he examines how schools are influenced by social and economic conditions in the urban environment. He writes about the history of political thought and contemporary political theory, with a special interest in the themes of persuasion and judgment.
Even among those who have not given up on persuasion, few will admit to practicing the art of persuasion known as rhetoric. Garsten uncovers the early modern origins of this suspicious attitude toward rhetoric and seeks to loosen its grip on contemporary political theory.
Revealing how deeply concerns about rhetorical speech shaped both ancient and modern political thought, he argues that the artful practice of persuasion ought to be viewed as a crucial part of democratic politics. Against theorists who advocate a rationalized ideal of deliberation aimed at consensus, Garsten argues that a controversial politics of partiality and passion can produce a more engaged and more deliberative kind of democratic discourse.

Friday, April 15th Convocation: Louis Menand Harvard University professor of English and American literature and language, Louis Menand is widely considered to be the foremost modern scholar of American studies.
He is the author of the Pulitzer Prize winning The Metaphysical Club , a detailed history of American intellectual and philosophical life in the 19th and 20th centuries. His recent book The Marketplace of Ideas , has sparked a debate about the future of American education.
Has American higher education become a dinosaur? Why do professors all tend to think alike? What makes it so hard for colleges to decide which subjects should be required? Why do teachers and scholars find it so difficult to transcend the limits of their disciplines?
Why, in short, are problems that should be easy for universities to solve so intractable? The answer, Menand argues, is that the institutional structure and the educational philosophy of higher education have remained the same for one hundred years, while faculties and student bodies have radically changed and technology has drastically transformed the way people produce and disseminate knowledge.
