About the Lecture


The annual series' aim is to bring together the worlds of academic exploration and practical politics to illuminate discussion of the broader principles and ideas of representative government. Such a synthesis is true to the spirit of the lecture's honorees - John C. Bollens, John C. Ries, and Marvin Hoffenberg - former distinguished professors in UCLA's Department of Political Science.
