Political Science Speaker Series Event with
Noah Schwartz, PhD candidate in Political Science

Drawing on a summer of embedded fieldwork with the NRA, Noah Schwartz will discuss how the organization has been so successful at influencing firearms policy in the United States. Looking beyond the organization’s direct lobbying, Noah’s presentation will explore the ways in which the NRA builds and mobilizes the second-amendment community to achieve its policy goals, and the role that narratives about American history and collective memory play in this process.
