He has an interest in religion and politics and in the role of religio-ethnic groups in the political system. The listener can anticipate talks on Arab-Americans, Jews, African-Americans, the Scots-Irish, and Evangelicals. He has lectured and written on American politics, public opinion, and voting behavior and on the role of religious organizations and ideologies in the political system. There will be occasional discussions of books and films that address serious issues. And he has lectured and published and even taught a class on gravestones, especially those of different ethnic and religious groups such as Muslims, African-Americans, Jews, and Native Americans. The goal of the podcast series is to provide analysis and commentary by a political scientist to explain and make accessible political, historical, and cultural developments in the United States and around the world, and to give the listener analytical tools to understand those developments. It is also to entertain the listener.

How I Plan To Vote, And Why.

This is posted October 31, 2024, just before the Presidential Election. This is the most intense and polarizing election in my memory. It is also the closest election since 1960 when Nixon and Kennedy went down to the wire. I have never revealed my vote preference before, but this is not a time for caution.
Note This is not an endorsement but a discussion.
