SUMMARY:Food For Thought: The U.S. Supreme Court - Crisis of Legitimacy?
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Supreme Court currently displays historic levels of public disapproval. The Court also sits in the center of the current battle by the Trump administration to reshape our separation of powers system. Have we reached a tipping point for our political institutions generally\, and for the Court specifically? I will discuss contemporary findings by researchers and the implications for such on the Court’s institutional legitimacy.  \n\n\n\nNicholas Conway is an Associate Professor of Political Science at San Francisco State University and an Adjunct Professor of Law at University of California Law-San Francisco. His research includes the U.S. Supreme Court and public opinion\, constitutional litigation\, media attention to judicial decisions\, and political methodology. \n\n\n\nRegister Here.

SUMMARY:California Mahjong
DESCRIPTION:California Mahjong is a modern adaptation of traditional Mahjong\, blending elements from British\, Hong Kong\, and Shanghai styles. Unlike American Mah Jongg\, which requires a specific card and has its own set of rules\, California Mahjong simplifies the gameplay by eliminating the need for a card. This version emphasizes a balance of skill and luck\, making it accessible and enjoyable for both newcomers and experienced players. As our instructor Shelley Williamson describes\, “it’s a bit like Gin Rummy meets Yahtzee\,” offering a stimulating challenge that also fosters social connections.\n \nInstructor: Shelley Williamson \nClasses: 5/29\, 6/5\, 6/12\, 6/26\, 7/3\, and 7/10 \n
