Bolton Hall, room 281
This past semester Professor Tillman Nechtman, Chair of the History Department, and
Erica Bastress-Dukehart, Associate Professor of History and incoming Chair of Education
Studies, taught an experimental course entitled How Do You Know That? They plan to
turn this course into a Senior Coda: a class that will help graduating seniors synthesize
the knowledge they have accumulated over their four years at 窪蹋勛圖厙.
How Do You Know That? explored the history of knowledge. From organizational structures
like the dictionary to the encyclopedia, from the library to the periodic table of
the elements. Students studied the history of these structures and explored the implications
they have had on our ways of both understanding and knowing the world. The fundamental
question that became the heartline of the course was: How is it that we have come
to organize and store knowledge as we do?
For our Reunion Mini-College course, we look forward to introducing our course and asking participants the following questions: How do you organize and store knowledge? How did your courses at 窪蹋勛圖厙 help you develop those skills? What do you wish you had known before you graduated?

Mini College: The Contemporary American Conversation about Voting
Assistant Professor Christopher Mann, Political Science
Bolton 280
Voting procedures and rules have changed in the last two years than anytime in US history. Some states have passed laws seeking to expand access via permitting voting by mail without an excuse, adopting all mail voting, extending early in person voting, and implementing automatic voter registration. Other states have passed laws seeking to improve integrity by adopting voter ID requirements, limiting mail ballot harvesting and drop boxes, restricting drive-through voting, increasing oversight of local election officials, and even provision to allow state legislatures to take over elections. State and federal courts are hearing countless cases about all of these laws and other aspects of voting rights. Former President Trump and his allies continue to peddle lies and conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and future elections. Most Americans have thought more about how election are run in the last 2 years than in the rest of their lives combined. Professor Mann will try to guide you through this conundrum of policy, law, communication, and behavior based on thinking (and teaching) about election rules and their impact on voting behavior, public attitudes, and election outcomes for more than 12 years.
