Dan Hofrenning, Associate Professor of Political Science

On behalf of Jim May, Provost and Dean of the College, CILA announces the fall semester "Provost's Sabbatical Series" Luncheon.

On October 12, historian Jeane DeLaney will discuss her research on changing conceptions of nationhood and national identity in Argentina between 1810 and 1945, a project that traces the transition from the 19 th century vision of the Argentine nation as a civic community to the 20 th century view of Argentina as a unique ethnocultural community. Political scientist Dan Hofrenning will talk about his research in the areas of civic engagement and the intersection of religion and politics. His sabbatical year included field work in Washington DC, and a look at civic engagement initiatives at other liberal arts colleges.
