Panelists to discuss women’s-issue study

— A panel of scholars from the Blair Center of Southern Politics and Society at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville will discuss views regarding women and women’s issues in national politics at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock on Wednesday.

The panel will discuss results from a new nonpartisan national academic poll conducted by the Blair Center and the Clinton School. The panel will address questions such as how women voted in the 2012 election, the chance of a woman being elected president in the near future, and how Hillary Rodham Clinton would do against various Republican opponents. The poll results will be analyzed along the lines of race, gender and region.

The panel will include assistant political science professors Angie Maxwell, Pearl Ford Dowe and Rafael Jimeno, as well as political science professor Todd Shields, director of the Blair Center.

Seats for the noon to 1 p.m. Sturgis Hall panel discussion can be reserved by e-mailing publicprograms@clintonschool.uasys.edu or by calling (501) 683-5239.

Those attending the noon to 1 p.m. lecture may take lunches, and drinks will be provided.
