A Political Scientist Accepts Ambiguity and Loses Control: My Experience inside the Legislative Process
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 May 2005
Extract
I am a strong believer in using praxis as an educational tool (Jentleson 1990, 435–6). Even though I have taught college political science most of my adult life, I had always been periodically directly involved with politics. In 1997, I received an opportunity to deepen my commitment to praxis when I accepted a position as a policy analyst with the Democratic caucus of the Michigan State Senate. The following is a brief account of my experiences from November 1997 until August 2001.
