On March 1-2, Adam Henley, a political science graduate student, presented a paper at the 2019 Lone Star Conference for the Study of Political Thought which was held at the University of North Texas. Papers were presented by faculty and graduate students from a variety of universities including Louisiana State University, Texas A&M at Corpus Christi, the University of Houston, Black Hills university (South Dakota), and Jacksonville State University (Florida). Adam’s paper was entitled “The Political Vulnerability of Congressional Staffs.” “It was a really good conversation that drew upon a very wide range of political philosophy at a depth unlike anything else I’ve experienced, “ he observed. He added that “It’s definitely something I would be glad to do again.”
