The Supreme Court as a Political Institution with David Olson

On this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were excited to sit down with David Olson, a lecturer in the Department of Political Science, to discuss not only his spring course, The Supreme Court as a Political Institution, but also his broader work in civic education. We talked to David about the history and evolution of judicial decision-making and its connection to contemporary political issues. We also asked him about his work at Retro Report – an independent nonprofit news organization - as well as his thoughts on the evolving role of civic education in today’s society. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversation with David, and hope you will too.
