This fall, the newly established Center for American Political History and Technology (CAPT) will host a seminar series featuring new research from scholars at Purdue and across the country. Faculty and graduate students from the College of Liberal Arts and across campus are invited to join these interdisciplinary conversations that examine the historical intersections of politics, media, and technology. Each seminar will take place on Mondays between 11:30am and 1:00pm in Beering Hall Room 6138. Lunch will be provided. Contact Dr. Kathryn Cramer Brownell (brownell@purdue.edu) for more details.
