Winter Coat Drive

Give your gently used coats and other winter wear (scarves, gloves, etc.) new life by donating them to those in need! Coats will first be made available to Lawrence students who can use the help, and any leftovers will be donated to a local charity.

Donations can be dropped off in the Admissions Office in Chapman Hall from 8am-5pm Monday-Friday.

If you know of a student in need of a coat, please connect them with Gaelyn Rose in Admissions at gaelyn.rose@lawrence.edu or x6889.

10/23 Convocation – “Listening Well in a World that Turns Away”

Tuesday, October 23, 2018
11:10 a.m.
“Listening Well in a World that Turns Away”
Katherine Cramer

Katherine Cramer is an American political scientist and a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is the author of “The Politics of Resentment: Rural Consciousness in Wisconsin and the Rise of Scott Walker,” the product of almost a decade of studying political attitudes in rural Wisconsin through ethnography.

Her work focuses on the way people in the United States make sense of politics. She is known for her innovative approach to the study of public opinion, in which she invites herself into the conversations of groups of people to listen to the way they understand public affairs.

Cramer was the recipient of the 2017 American Political Science Association’s Qualitative and Multi-Method Research section Giovanni Sartori Award for the best book developing or using qualitative methods published in 2016, as well as a finalist for the 2017 APSA Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award for the best book on government, politics or international affairs.
