About the Professors: Robin Kolodny begins her 26th (!) year at Temple in the fall of 2016. She has been teaching some form of this campaign seminar since the fall of 1998. Kolodny studies campaign finance and political parties. She has worked on Capitol Hill and has been a Fulbright Scholar to the United Kingdom. Kolodny’s daughter will be a high school senior in the fall of 2016 so please do not even get her started about standardized testing for college admissions and whether high school prepares you for college. She may never stop preaching. David Nickerson begins his second year at Temple University in fall 2016. Before that he taught at the University of Notre Dame. His research focuses on voter mobilization, voter psychology, and campaign behavior in the United States and Latin Page30 America. His work uses field experiments to measure the effectiveness of different forms of campaign outreach. He has consulted for a wide range of non-profit organizations and served as the Director of Experiments for the Analytics Department of the 2012 Obama re-election campaign. His obsession with basketball rivals his fascination with politics.

US SOC – HIGHER EDUC IN AMERICAN LIFE (EDAD 0955.01, CRN: 28348)
Days/Times: Tuesday, 5:30 to 8 PM
Professor: Musu Davis (musu@temple.edu)
About: You have decided to go to college. But why? What role will college and in particular Temple University play in your life? Reflect on this important question by looking at the relationship between higher education and American society. What do colleges and universities contribute to our lives? They are, of course, places for teaching and learning. They are also research centers, sports and entertainment venues, sources of community pride and profit, major employers, settings for coming-of-age rituals, and institutions that create lifetime identities and loyalties. Learn how higher education is shaped by the larger society and how, in tum, it has shaped that society. Become better prepared for the world in which you have chosen to live for the next few years.
About the Professor: Musu Davis is an Honors senior academic advisor and a doctoral candidate in Urban Education. Teaching about higher ed has been a passion of mine since I became a student leader and realized I'd never have to leave college if I worked at one. Fast forward eleven years, and here I am. As a former sprinter and English major, I love partaking in Philly's sports and arts scenes. When I'm not advising Honorables or dissertating, I like to do performance poetry,listen to jazz, and try all kinds of food. I reside in the open fields of South Jersey where I constantly long for urbanity. My research interests are understanding the intersections of Black women's social identities, experiences of highachieving undergraduates of color, access to higher education, and college student engagement.
