A guest lecturer will explore the relationship between partisan politics and how courts interpret the U.S. Constitution in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration’s second annual Davis Lecture on Wednesday, Feb. 12.
Dr. Anthony Michael Kreis, an assistant professor of law at Georgia State University College of Law and author of the recently published “Rot and Revival: The History of Constitutional Law in American Political Development,” will present the free, public lecture at 6 p.m. in Thompson Student Union Room 2592.
Dr. Anthony Michael Kreis is an assistant professor of law at Georgia State University College of Law.
RSVPs are requested online.
Kreis is expected to explore some of the themes addressed in “Rot and Revival,” which draws on historical research and political science methodologies to argue that the court system cannot be divorced from the currents of national politics.
The Davis Lecture is named in honor of the late Dr. David H. Davis, whose generous gift supports the annual lecture series that brings top scholars to campus for discussions on environmental policy, public administration, foreign policy or American political institutions.
Davis retired as a professor of political science in 2014.
