Course Description:   For decades, nations have been led by women, from Canada and the United Kingdom to Germany and France. But, in nearly 250 years, the United States has never elected a female president. This course will review the history of American women seeking our nation’s highest office and the gendered nature of politics. We will also focus on how the role of First Lady has evolved and how several of them, as well as other women, played an integral role in shaping the presidency and influencing policy agendas throughout history.

Location: Pavilion

Dates/Times: Mondays, Jan 13 to Feb 10 from 2:00 pm - 3:15 pm (no class Jan 20, 2025).

Instructor:  John Scibak

John Scibak has a doctorate in experimental psychology and has held academic positions at Indiana University, University of Massachusetts, and Westfield State University (MA). Despite having never taken a political science course, John ran mid-career for elective office and served 16 years in the Massachusetts legislature prior to retiring to Pelican Cove.
