Can the American Congress be ethical in an age of intense partisan warfare? Dr. Julian Zelizer, Princeton University professor and CNN political analyst, will take up the topic of ethics in Congress in a lecture hosted on Thursday, April 5 at 4:00 p.m. in the auditorium of the Special Collections Building. We also invite UGA students to join us for a breakfast recap with our guest speaker the following morning (April 6) at 9:00 a.m. and a chance to chat informally with this noted political historian. The event is casual and you are welcome to stay for as little or as long as your schedule permits. Come with good questions and a good appetite!

The lecture and breakfast event are both co-sponsored by the Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies, the School of Public and International Affairs, the Department of History, and the Applied Politics Program.
