Dominican University Presents Lazerow Lecture

Pippa Norris, McGuire Lecturer in Comparative Politics at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, will deliver the annual ISI® Samuel Lazerow Memorial Lecture at Dominican University on Thursday, April 7 at 6:00 p.m. in the Lund Auditorium, 7900 W. Division Street, River Forest. Ms. Norris’ lecture on “The Impact of New Technologies: Transforming or Reinforcing Civic Engagement?” will be preceded by a reception in the lobby of the auditorium.

Ms. Norris’ research compares elections and public opinion, political communications, and gender politics. She has published almost three dozen books, including a series for Cambridge University Press: A Virtuous Circle: Political Communications in Postindustrial Societies (2000), Digital Divide: Civic Engagement, Information Poverty and the Internet Worldwide (2001), Democratic Phoenix: Political Activism Worldwide (2002), Rising Tide: Gender Equality and Cultural Change Around the Globe (with Ronald Inglehart, 2003), Electoral Engineering: Voting Rules and Political Behavior (2004), and Sacred and Secular: Religion and Politics Worldwide (with Ronald Inglehart, 2004). Her work has been published in more than a dozen languages.

She has also served on executive bodies for the American Political Science Association (APSA), the International Political Science Association (IPSA), the Political Science Association of the UK (PSA), and the British Politics Group of APSA. She was president of the Women and Politics Research Group of the American Political Science Association and co-founding chair of the Elections, Parties, and Public Opinion Group (EPOP) of the Political Science Association. She holds a bachelor’s degree in politics and philosophy from Warwick University, and masters and doctoral degrees in politics from the London School of Economics (LSE).

Dominican University is one of few graduate schools of library and information science in the nation to receive the coveted annual Lazerow lectureship award from Thomson ISI. The lecture honors the memory of Samuel Lazerow, an eminent library administrator and pioneer in the use of electronic information systems. The lecture series introduces students, faculty and the professional community to leading thinkers in information technology and policy.
