Speaker: Jason Duncan

After earning an M.A. in Russian Studies from Georgetown University, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in history from the University of Iowa, Dr. Duncan took his talents to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1988 where he worked as a staffer for Rep. Tom Sawyer (D-OH) through 1991. In 2000, he served as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention that nominated Al Gore. Dr. Duncan’s book, Citizens or Papists: The Politics of Anti-Catholicism in New York, 1685-1821, was published by Fordham University Press last year. Professor Duncan previously taught an emeritus class on Theodore Roosevelt at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum.
