The Center for the Study of American Democracy welcomes Lilly Goren '87, a professor of political science at Carroll University.
Goren, an alumna and former visiting faculty member at Kenyon, teaches American politics and political theory at Carroll University. She is co-editor and a contributing author to a three-volume series of books on "The Politics of the Marvel Cinematic Universe" (University of Kansas Press), about which the publisher says, "The MCU is a deeply political universe. Intentionally or not, the MCU sends fans scores of messages about a wide range of subjects related to government, public policy, and society."
Goren will introduce us to the ways that scholars from many fields have interpreted the overt and the more subtle dimensions of politics in the "most expansive and widely viewed fictional narrative in the history of cinema."
