Dear Colleagues

We welcome you to attend Shirley Tillotson's presentation, "How to Write 
a New Political History for Contemporary Democracy," on *Friday, October 
22*, *2:30pm-4pm*, *Hagey Hall 280*.  We encourage you to invite your 
colleagues, interested friends, and students to attend as well.

Professor Tillotson's work addresses the fragmentation of History as a 
discipline, the connection between public and private politics, and the 
interaction of state and society.  By looking at the history of 
taxation, Professor Tillotson arrives at a working definition of 
"democratization" and the capacity for citizens to exercise a degree of 
control over the state.

Many thanks for your support to promote Professor Tillotson's work.

Regards,

Susan Wismer, IS Director
