“Egghead Evenings” are open discussion groups focusing on
policy-related or historical topics featuring experts who live in or
frequent Midcoast Maine.
Heather Cox Richardson, Professor of History at Boston College, will lead a discussion about the two major political parties and how they got where they are today. She is the author of “To Make Men Free: The History of the Republican Party” (Basic Books, 2014) which examines the GOP’s 160 years of twists and turns in accessible prose sharing comprehensive research.
Professor Richardson teaches the history of the American West in addition to courses on U.S. politics and economics, specifically during the Nineteenth century. According to her bio on the BC website, “She is currently working on an intellectual history of American politics and a graphic treatment of the Reconstruction Era.” Richardson grew up in Maine and is a part-time resident of Round Pond.
