    Were the 2016 election's gaffes, one-liners, and memorable moments historical firsts or repeats from the past? Please join us as we welcome Dr. Elizabeth Tandy Shermer, assistant professor of history at Loyola University Chicago, who will take us through the highs and lows to consider how unprecedented this unforgettable race has been and how it might be remembered.

    Following the presentation, Dr. Shermer will sign copies of her books Sunbelt Capitalism: Phoenix and the Transformation of American Politics and Barry Goldwater and the Remaking of the American Political Landscape.

    Reservations are encouraged. To register, please visit blogs.lib.luc.edu/friends or contact Nicole Brodsky at (773) 508-2616 for more information.
