One of OLLI’s most recent Thursday
Morning Lecture Series speakers, Kevin
Deegan-Krause, Ph.D., is back!
Deegan-Krause, a rising star in the
Political Science Department at Wayne
State University, wowed attendees with his lecture in the
Populism series “The Future Lies East: Post Communist
Europe’s New Model of Populism” in December of 2017.
His presentation, “How to Talk Across the Political Divide”, is
certainly a topic of interest and relevance for OLLI members.
Deegan-Krause is the recipient of the Truman and Fulbright
Scholarships as well as IREX Individual Advanced Research
Grants. He has served as a consultant for the U.S.
Department of State on the politics of Central Europe. He is
currently working on a new book with Tim Haughton of the
University of Birmingham titled The New Party Challenge:
Cycles of Party Birth and Death in Europe and Beyond.
