StocktonAfterClass

Ron Stockton was a professor of political science at the University of Michigan-Dearborn for 48 years. His specialty was non-western politics and political change. He taught classes on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Religion and Politics, the Politics of Revolution, Non-Western politics, and American politics. He also taught in the Honors Program, focusing upon foundational readings from the 18th and 19th centuries. 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.

Well, I'm feeling good about StocktonAfterClass. We just passed 60,000 downloads. That is not many compared with media Superstars but to me it is an impressive number. And you are from over 130 different countries.

I am not told anything about any of you except where you live but in the past when I have had zoom sessions, I have found those who checked in to be very interesting people.

Would you like to join us? There is no agenda. Whatever you want to talk about is good with me. Maybe you want to discuss one of the previous podcasts, or maybe you just want to chat about the weather. Whatever.

I am guessing we would go on for an hour or so, but the last time I tried this there were some very intersting people (and talkative) and we went on longer than that.

If you are interested you have to let me know so I can sign you in. Please send me an email to

rstock@Umich.edu

And if the time comes and I have not started the meeting, please be patient. I am a bit of a klutz where zoom stuff is concerned.

And if you wanted to join in but are not allowed by the time the session starts, please send me an email. I probably did something wrong.

See you on Sunday, December 8 at 2:00.
