Daily Record column: The York Plan is nearing its 80th anniversary A reminder of York's 20th century can-do spirit, which could still be applied to addressing climate change under the right conditions.

February 10 Guest Speaker

Celia Paris, Loyola University

Our February guest is Celia Paris, Assistant Professor in Political Science at Loyola University. She is currently working on a book manuscript that explores whether Madisonian ideals for deliberative and collaborative political decision-making have lost their appeal. Titled Madison’s ABCs: Why the Public Still Values Accomplishment, Bipartisanship, and Civility in Congress, her book argues that the desire for a more Madisonian approach to politics remains alive and well in the American public and that citizens value accomplishment, bipartisanship, and civility.
