Future of Moderate Republicanism Roundtable Discussion

This roundtable discussion features three Ohio State faculty members and examines the future of the Republican Party in light of the midterm election results.

Reception and book signing follow tonight's talk (RSVP requested). Held in conjunction with recent release of the book Modern Republican: Arthur Larson and the Eisenhower Years (Indiana University Press, 2006) by David Stebenne--associate professor of history and adjunct professor of law at Ohio State--this discussion will look at the last time the moderates were in charge of the national GOP, why they lost control, and their current prospects for regaining influence in the party. A Q and A with the audience will cap the discussion, with a booksigning and reception immediately following.

Panelists include Stebenne, Paul Beck, Dean of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and moderator Nancy Rogers, Dean of the Moritz College of Law.

Admission is free; RSVP is requested to alcalde.1@osu.edu.

Cosponsored by Ohio State's Center for Interdisciplinary Law and Policy Studies, College of Humanities, College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, John Glenn School of Public Affairs, and Wexner Center for the Arts.
