We will be welcoming Beth El member Jonathan Weiler for an insightful talk titled "How Americans Really Think About Politics." He will break down the key dynamics shaping the political landscape, including how polling works, what to look for in media coverage, and the strategies campaigns use to influence voters.

Jonathan Weiler received his PhD in political science from UNC Chapel Hill. He has written four books, including Authoritarianism and Polarization in American Politics (Cambridge University Press, 2009), co-authored with Marc Hetherington), which won the Philip Converse award from the American Political Science Association in 2016, in recognition of the book’s lasting impact on the field, and Prius or Pickup: How the Answers to Four Simple Questions Explain America’s Great Divide (2018), also co-authored with Marc Hetherington. He teaches courses on economic globalization, sports and globalization and human rights
