The Launch
We attended the official launch of UT's new Center for Politics and Governance this morning. Hundreds of political wonks, hacks and wonk-hack hybrids gathered for the launch event and opening conference, "The Future is Now: the Hispanic Impact on American Politics and Government".
The goal of the new center is to allow students to study politics and government
as it's happening, with the people who are influencing it. The University's hoping to bridge a stronger connection between what students study "in theory" and what's really happening "in the field", as we say in the news biz.
I'lll have notes on what the panel on the current state of Hispanic politics had to say soon.
