Tao L. Dumas of The College of New Jersey offers the fourth lecture in the "So You Think You Know Civics?" series. In-person at Morven and on Zoom.
We’ve all heard “a government for the people by the people.” But what does this really mean?
Join the library and the Morven Museum & Gardens as we continue, "So You Think You Know Civics?" This series of free public programs unpacks big questions about the past and present of the U.S. government, and how we can make change in our democracy.
Our speaker for the fourth program in the series, "What is Law?" is Tao L. Dumas, associate professor of political science and chair of the prelaw advisory committee at The College of New Jersey.
Explore the role that law plays in our government. How do we make laws? What is the role of the Supreme Court? How can laws change?
This event is hybrid - held both in-person in Morven’s Stockton Education Center and virtually via Zoom webinar. Q&A for live and virtual attendees will follow the talk. A webinar link will be shared with virtual ticket holders upon registration. A recording of the event will be shared following the program.
The final program in the series will be "What is Political Leadership?" with Saladin Ambar, professor of political science at Rutgers University and senior scholar at the Eagleton Center on the American Governor: Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 6 p.m. Those who attend all five programs (virtually and/or in-person) will receive a free "So You Think You Know Civics?" T-shirt.
