On the Issues: How the States Got Their Shapes

Please join us on September 2 for "On the Issues: How the States Got Their Shapes." 

How did the United States end up looking like it does? Join the Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education for a fascinating conversation with acclaimed author Mark Stein as he explores the surprising stories behind America’s borders in his bestselling book, How the States Got Their Shapes. From political power struggles and Supreme Court decisions, to rivers, railroads, and rivalries, Stein reveals how history, law, and geography combined to carve the lines that define our nation today. You’ll never look at a map the same way again. 

The program will begin promptly at 12:15 p.m. in Eckstein Hall. Please register here to attend. A light lunch will be available.
