| Proposed Session Title: |
Political Science & Political Myths |
| |
| Session Description: |
In this session, I'll go over some of the major findings in political science research listed in Hans Noel's paper "Ten Things Political Scientists Know That You Don't" and Christopher Achen & Larry Bartels' recent book "Democracy for Realists." As you'll see, political scientists have converged around some consensus views that conflict with commonly held "folk theories" about how our political system works.
