Youth political participation will be the topic of an upcoming lecture at Linfield College. Daniel Oross, a visiting Fulbright scholar, will present “Comparing Political Participation by Youth in the US and EU” on Thursday, March 22, at 7 p.m. in the Austin Reading Room in the Nicholson Library at Linfield.
Oross is a visiting Fulbright scholar at Hartwick College in the Political Science Department and is a Research Fellow at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He is currently documenting youth political participation in the U.S. to build a comparative model with the European Union. He is particularly focused on how globalization and digitalization have affected youth participation in democratic societies.
This presentation is conducted through the Fulbright Scholar Program’s Outreach Lecturing Fund (OLF). OLF enables visiting scholars to share their research interests, speak about their home country and exchange ideas with U.S. students, faculty and community organizations. Through these lectures, universities forge relationships with the Fulbright scholar program, visiting scholars at their homes and host institutions.
The event is free and open to the public. It is sponsored by the Program for Liberal Arts and Civic Engagement. Contact Tom Mertes at tmertes@linfield.edu by March 21 to reserve a seat, as space is limited.
