Ars Americana, Ars Politica: Of Democracy and Its Deficits

6:00 pm - 6:00 pm
WCHP Lecture Hall
Portland Campus for the Health Sciences
Peter Swirski
Free and open to the public

With Ars Americana, Ars Politica as our guidebook, we will try to peel American democracy out of the candy wrapper to see if it tastes as good as advertised. After puncturing a few myths surrounding the birth of democracy, we will highlight some of the anomalies of the current electoral system, tour the alternatives to the 鈥渙ne man, one vote鈥 clunker we have in place, and travel abroad for a short lesson in history and in people鈥檚 power.
