This three-part civic education series provides participants with a deeper understanding of American government, constitutional principles, and the responsibilities of citizenship. Through lectures presented by experienced scholars and public officials and a robust Q & A and discussion to follow, attendees will explore how government is structured, how power is distributed, and how citizens can effectively participate in a democratic society.

The second topic in our series, The U.S. Constitution Explained, will be taught by Forrest Nabors.

Forrest is Chairman of the Department of Political Science at the University of Alaska Anchorage and the author of From Oligarchy to Republicanism: The Great Task of Reconstruction. He is currently preparing a book for publication on the American Founding.
