Patterson’s lecture will focus on his most recent book, “The Vanishing Voter,” which looks at the causes and consequences of declining electoral participation. Patterson, who received his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota, has written many highly acclaimed books including his book on the media's political role, “Out of Order,” which received the American Political Science Association's Graber Award as the best book of the decade in political communication. An earlier book, “The Unseeing Eye,” was named one of the 50 most influential books on public opinion in the past half century by the American Association for Public Opinion Research.
Patterson’s appearance is sponsored by Muhlenberg College’s departments of political science and communication as part of Decision 2004, a series of events that focuses on the upcoming 2004 election.
Muhlenberg College is committed to providing forums for discussions and debates. However, the College does not endorse any individual candidates nor does it endorse any political parties.
