The 2008 election has been historic for many reasons. Both a female and an African American ran for the nomination of a major political party for the first time in history, there is an opportunity to elect the oldest president ever, and the Internet and blogs play a key role in the kinds of information that the electorate has access to.
On Friday, October 3, at 4:15 p.m. at the Center for Community Partnerships, 167 High Street, Assistant Professor of Government Melanye Price will lead an informal lecture about the role of race, gender, age and media in the current election.
First Friday is a series sponsored by the Center for Community Partnerships and is dedicated to building community amongst those interested in service, activism and social change.
