Comparing Impeachment Regimes: Law, Institutions, and Politics

Thursday, October 31, 2019, 7:00 pm, Community Foundation Theater, Gund Gallery

CSAD will host John Ohnesorge as he presents his work on the subject of comparing impeachment regimes: law, institutions, and politics.

Professor Ohnesorge teaches Business Organizations and Administrative Law, as well as seminars in Chinese Law, and in Law and Development. He is the Director of the Law School's East Asian Legal Studies Center, founder of the Law School's Compliance Initiative, and former Chair of the Wisconsin China Initiative (2008-2012).

During the course of his S.J.D. studies, Professor Ohnesorge spent a year as a visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and Public International Law in Heidelberg, Germany, on a fellowship from Harvard's Center for European Studies. In 2000 he served as a lecturer at Harvard Law School, co-teaching with Professor William P. Alford. From 2000 to 2001 he clerked for Federal District Court Judge Rya W. Zobel (D. Mass), then joined the Law School in the fall of 2001.

Decades of progress, but decades to go?

Friday, September 13, 2:10 pm, Community Foundation Theater, Gund Gallery

Do women leaders lead differently or champion different causes than men? What does research show about voters' biases when candidates are women? Why are some democracies so far ahead of the U.S. when it comes to gender equity in political leadership? We kick off the weekend with this round table discussion among three Kenyon political science professors — and audience questions.

Nancy Powers ‘83, assistant director of the Center for the Study of American Democracy is our moderator. Participants also include Abbie Erler, associate professor and chair in the Department of Political Science, and Gilda Rodriguez, visiting instructor of women and gender studies and political science. The event is sponsored by the Center for the Study of American Democracy (CSAD).
