The Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry will be hosting a day-long symposium to evaluate the past, present, and future of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. By the date of the Symposium, the Supreme Court will have heard oral arguments in what will likely prove to be a landmark ruling on the constitutionality of the law in early June 2012. The symposium will feature historians, political scientists, legal scholars, and media experts who will place the law and current health care policy debates in larger social, political, and economic context.

Schafer, Ph.D., History Department, University of Houston; Beatrix Hoffman, Ph.D., History Department, Northern Illinois University; Jennifer Klein, Ph.D., History Department, Yale University; Marie Gottschalk, Ph.D., Political Science Department, University of Pennsylvania; Karen Curry, Executive Director, Rudman Institute for Entertainment Industry Studies, Drexel University; Theodore Ruger, J.D., University of Pennsylvania Law School; Kevin Egan, Ph.D., Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry, Drexel University.
