The Democrats had some midterm conventions in the 70s (though weirdly they held them after the midterms since they were afraid party infighting or a coherent message would hurt candidates).

The Department of Political Science at Fordham is hiring an adjunct instructor to teach Political Psychology in the Fall semester at its Rose Hill location. We are also able to offer them the opportunity to teach a second course – Introduction to Politics – though this is not a requirement.

Power in a Union: How Unexpected Group Partnerships Form
Power in a Union: How Unexpected Group Partnerships Form By Boris Heersink, Fordham University and Matthew J. Lacombe, Case Western Reserve University While scholars have focused extensively on the consequences of partnerships between interest groups, less attention has been paid to the historical dynamics shaping when, how, and why such groups unite. This is especially true of “unexpected” partnerships, which unite groups with seemingly little in common.

Allan Baird passed away; he was in charge of the Teamsters boycott of Coors beer in the early 1970s in the Bay Area and worked with Harvey Milk and Howard Wallace to get the SF gay community to join the boycott. Baird was a pioneer in merging labor and gay rights. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
