Welcome to Dr. Maiden's Virtual Office Hours! The fall semester is officially underway and I'm bringing you some new content. This is a question I've been thinking about for quite a while and I've known it's one I've wanted to attempt to answer.

In this video, I explore whether this is true and why it feels like college campuses are so liberal. Get ready for some Modernization Theory 101!! I mentioned I would provide a list of readings on Modernization theory. Here you go: 1. Inglehart and Welzel (2005). Modernization, Cultural Change, and Democracy 2. Ansell and Samuels (2014). Inequality and Democratization 3. Przeworski et al. (2000). Democracy and Development 4. Weyland (2014). Making Waves 5. North (1990). Institutions, Institutional Change, and Economic Performance 6. Handelman and Brynen (2019). Challenges in the Developing World 7. Burnell, Rakner, and Randall (2017). Politics in the Developing World
