UCTV's Election Programming Breaks from the Television Norm

Featured among UCTV's Election 2008 programming is the "Choosing the Next President" series from UC Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies. The latest installments of this ten-part series address "War and Presidential Politics" featuring a panel of experts from UC Berkeley, Harvard and MIT, "Rethinking Presidential Power in the 21st Century" with guests from Yale, Columbia, Stanford, and University of Chicago, and "War and Terrorism in the 2008 Election" with Washington Post polling director Jonathan Cohen.

Also featured in UCTV's Election 2008 line-up is the ongoing interview series "The Body Politic" from UC San Diego. Host and political science professor Peter Gourevitch welcomes guests for an even-handed approach to "Judging the Candidates for President" that also examines the impact that race and gender have on this historic campaign. During "Immigration 2008," Gourevitch and his panel explain the candidates' views on this controversial issue. Tune in on October 22 for a fresh installment featuring a timely discussion about the "Closing Days of Campaign '08."
