Dr. Jason Johnson, Scholar in Residence at Hiram’s Garfield Institute for Public Leadership will take American politics “on the road” to Europe February 25-March 5 in a series of lectures on the American political system, Presidential campaign and African-American political landscape hosted by the U.S. State Department.
Johnson, an author, and frequent commentator on American politics for the media, will be visiting American Consulates in numerous cities in Germany, including Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Nurnberg, Munich, Heidelberg and other cities, to discuss a wide range of topics, from the use of social media in American political campaigns to the role minorities, and especially, African Americans will play in this year’s Presidential Campaign in the U.S.
Johnson will lecture at teacher training seminars at American Consulates in each city, and will join with Dr. Steven Bloom, historian and author, and a professor at Heidelberg College, for a presentation on Civil rights, racial identity, and political humor in American politics.
