Special Podcast: Reflections on Citizenship and Events of Jan. 6, 2021

In this special “bonus” episode of the “Prez Paul Podcast,” I share the audio from a virtual forum for the Nazareth community on Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021.

I am joined by Dr. Tim Kneeland, Nazareth professor of history and political science; Dr. Devparna Roy, Nazareth assistant professor of sociology; and Dr. Ana Gomez Parga, assistant professor in English and communication. The Nazareth community engaged via Zoom with thought-provoking comments and questions for the panelists.

Join my guests, Jake Kwiatkowski, a graduate student in the School of Business and Leadership, and a 2012 undergraduate alum; Amelia Johnson, a junior studying communication and media with a minor in legal studies, and Tegan Wright, a junior studying sociology with a minor in business management.
