Thinking About Politicians

The second SLC symposium, called "Thinking about Politicians: Max Weber's Politics as a Vocation'" will be on Tuesday, October 30th, 1:30-3 pm in the Pillow Room.

As we are entering an election year, the symposium is addressing the question of what it means to be a politician in a mass democracy and which qualities a politician should have. Max Weber's classical essay will serve as our springboard for our conversation.

The panelists are: Elke Zuern (Political Science), Fred Smoler (Literature), Philip Swoboda (History), and Patrisia Macias (Sociology).

Weber's essay is available through MySLC.
