Relocalizing Vermont: Unsustainable Presidency; NEK Food Plan

Past event
Mar 17, 2016, 9 to 10:30 AM

Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio—a look at whether the US Presidency is sustainable as an office, and more on the work in the Northeast Kingdom to update their food systems plan.

9:00 - 10:00 am
Bill Grover, professor of political science at St. Michael’s College. We’ll be talking about the book he co-authored, The Unsustainable Presidency: Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Beyond. It looks at the “deep structure” of the office of the US Presidency and how, he argues, it is unsustainable.
