Join Dr. Markie McBrayer for an engaging talk exploring party systems and the evolution of political parties over time.

Dr. Markie McBrayer is an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Idaho where she teaches American politics, public policy, and statistics. Her research focuses on local and state politics and policy, particularly social policy, housing, and gentrification in the United States. Her work has appeared in Political Research Quality, Urban Affairs Review, and Policy Studies Journal.

Prior to Dr. McBrayer’s presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to explore the Museum’s new exhibit, Four Score & Seven Years Before. This exhibit explores the founders and thinkers at the heart of the American Revolution, the establishment of Idaho Territory amid the American Civil War, and Idaho Constitutional Convention. This event is sponsored by the Idaho Humanities Council.

This event is free, with suggested donations supporting the Ray Knight Field Trip Fund, which provides reduced admission and transportation scholarships for school field trips to the Idaho State Museum, Old Idaho Penitentiary, Rock Creek / Stricker Ranch Historic Site, and Franklin Historic Site.
