The MATC Student Life Educational Programming Board, New College - Madison, and the MATC Department of Social Science and History Present:"American Exceptionalism" with Renowned Sociologist, Alan Wolfe
Monday, September 20, 2004 • 7:30 p.m.
MATC DTEC D240
(211 N. Carroll Street, Madison, WI)
Free and open to the publicDr. Alan Wolfe is a professor of Political Science and Director of the Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life at Boston College. He is the author of more than a dozen acclaimed books, is a contributing editor of The New Republic and The Wilson Quarterly, and regular contributor to other publications including Commonweal, The New York Times, Harper's, The Atlantic Monthly, and The Washington Post. He served as an advisor to President Clinton in preparation for his 1995 State of the Union address and has lectured widely at American and European universities.
A scholar of American culture and values, Wolfe argues that despite rhetoric of polarized culture wars, average Americans share a foundation of morals and opinions. At the same time, Americans are forced to cultivate their own sense of morality while trying to balance allegiance to one's self and to society as a whole. His work on American exceptionalism challenges citizens to consider both the greatness and the tragedy of American life and history.
