National Symposium Series 2008
Not Taboo at Our Table! Race, Religion and Gender in American Politics
The National Symposium Series (NSS) has, since 1999, explored topical issues in American politics including Constitutional reform, women and politics, wartime politics, political humor, character and politics, presidential selection, and youth civic engagement.
The 2008 presidential election brought race, religion and gender to the forefront of the political landscape, which led to the theme for the 2008 NSS, Not Taboo at Our Table! Race, Religion and Gender in American Politics
