MILWAUKEE 鈥� Amanda Kolson Hurley, senior editor at CityLab and author of the new book 鈥淩adical Suburbs: Experimental Living on the Fringes of the American City,鈥� and four Milwaukee-area suburban mayors will be featured guests in an upcoming "On the Issues with Mike Gousha" about 鈥淭he Suburbs: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow,鈥� Monday, Oct. 28, from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Lubar Center at 蜜桃影像 Law School鈥檚 Eckstein Hall.
Note that this time differs from typical lunch-hour 鈥淥n the Issues鈥� events.
A Brookings study last spring found that the 鈥渂ack to the city鈥� movement 鈥� robust earlier this decade 鈥� has stalled, with renewed interest in the suburbs. This 90-minute event will feature a moderated discussion with Kolson Hurley, as well as four suburban mayors: Kathy Ehley of Wauwatosa, Dan Devine of West Allis, Dan Bukiewicz of Oak Creek and John Wirth of Mequon. Kolson Hurley鈥檚 book looks at the surprising history of suburbia and what the past could tell us about the future. John Johnson, a Lubar Research Fellow from Marquette Law School, will also discuss suburban Milwaukee demographics and trends.
Gousha, an award-winning journalist, continues his 鈥淥n the Issues鈥� series of provocative and insightful interviews with local and national public officials, journalists and other newsmakers throughout the year. A complete schedule is available online.
Through public programming such as the Marquette Law School Poll, debates featuring candidates in significant political races, Gousha鈥檚 鈥淥n the Issues鈥� conversations with newsmakers, public lectures by leading scholars and conferences on significant issues of public importance, the Law School serves as the region鈥檚 leading venue for serious civil discourse about law and public policy matters.
The event is open to members of the general public at no cost; registration is required and is available . Members of the media who are interested in attending should contact Kevin Conway, associate director of university communication, at kevin.m.conway@marquette.edu.
Kevin is the associate director for university communication in the Office of University Relations. Contact Kevin at (414) 288-4745 or kevin.m.conway@marquette.edu.
