Brief Biographical Sketch:

My academic interests lie primarily in chemistry and the life sciences, but I strongly believe that everyone has a responsibility to understand and participate in our government. I think it's particularly important to engage students while they're in high school, so that they are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and excitement to become full voting members of our society. I personally had an amazing experience in AP government that changed the way I see the world and my place in it, and I hope to pass on a little bit of what I received. Feel free to email me with any questions about the course (cwli@fas.harvard.edu).

S473: AP US Government and Politics in Delve Delve 2007--2008 (Sep. 16 - 23, 2007)
AP US Government and Politics seeks to give students a broad understanding of the American political system and the players that operate within it. The course will cover in depth the constitutional foundations of American government, the component institutions, and how individual citizens can and need to be involved. Our goal is not just to provide a general knowledge base on government, but to stimulate interest and critical thinking about our government today. Throughout the course, we will draw from current events and discuss questions such as: Is it possible to create a government in Iraq that will equally represent all ethnic groups? How does immigration and diversity affect the American political identity? Is the two-party system in America really good for the people? What's up with the electoral college (i.e. Are we happy that President Bush won in 2000 even though Al Gore got more votes)?
