As midterms approach and the 2016 presidential elections moves closer, everyone wants to know: will the factions within the Republican Party split completely, reunify, or will one dominate over the others? What will this mean for the Democrats, and for conservative America?
Join the PSU as Reihan Salam and Conor Friedersdorf tackle these questions and more, addressing the past, present, and future–grim or hopeful–of the Republican Party. Reihan Salam is the co-author of Grand New Party: How Republicans Can Win the Working Class and Save the American Dream. He is a lead blogger for National Review’s The Agenda, a columnist for Slate, and the host of a weekly podcast for Vice. Conor Friedersdorf is a Pomona alum from class of 2002 and a staff writer for The Atlantic. He is the founder of the “Best of Journalism,” a biweekly newsletter that highlights fantastic nonfiction. Friedersdorf has previously written for the Huffington Post and served as a senior editor to Andrew Sullivan.

Since 9/11, political discourse on immigration has become increasingly dehumanizing and alienating: under the Obama administration, a record breaking 2 million undocumented immigrants have been deported. Join the PSU in collaboration with IDEAS, as we hear artist Favianna Rodriguez speak on art as an agent of change, her fight for migrant justice and the future of immigration reform. In addition, a Pomona student will share her experiences as an undocumented member of our very own community. Q&A will follow the talk, so bring your questions! Favianna Rodriguez's website: Favianna.com Favianna will be selling her artwork after the talk, she obviously can't do ClaremontCash so bring those wallets if you're interested. There will be a post-talk discussion in scc 217 led by the IDEAS Club and Favianna will join us. At Pomona College, a multitude of different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds contribute to a wide diversity of knowledge. However, not all social/cultural knowledge is incorporated equally into the Pomona College community — whether academic or social.
Join us as we hear from distinguished faculty and staff as they reflect on their experiences navigating spaces of higher education. Through this discussion, our speakers will explain how structures of power lead to socialization, manipulation of identity and even negation of self for students who are in the socioeconomic and cultural minority. |
