Alumni from Brandeis, Columbia, and Princeton are invited to a private reception at Daedalus Restaurant to celebrate Princeton University professor Julian E. Zelizer (Brandeis ‘91) and his new book, In Defense of Partisanship, from Columbia Global Reports. Following the reception, Zelizer will be in conversation with Noah Feldman at Harvard Book Store.In Defense of Partisanship reimagines what partisanship might look like going forward from today. A new era of party-oriented reforms has the potential to pay respect to the deep differences that divide us while simultaneously creating a more functional path on which two responsible political parties compete to shape policy while still being able to govern.In Defense of Partisanship is published by Columbia Global Reports, a nonprofit publishing imprint that commissions authors to produce short but ambitious books of original thinking and on-site reporting from all over the world.Tickets are $30 and include a copy of In Defense of Partisanship. Ticketing is through EventBriteThe Eventbrite access code is: ZelizerPrinceton
