“An Immodest Proposal: Children, Citizenship, and Vicarious Voting as a Solution to California-Style Feudalism” Professor Elmendorf will discuss the emergence of a quasi-feudal social hierarchy in California, in which an aging, home-owning, and electorally dominant class has secured for itself artificially inflated home values and low, hereditable tax bases, to the grave detriment of newcomers, poor people, and most children. He will suggest several electoral remedies, including automatic voter registration of parents upon their child’s birth, pre-registration of children at birth, and a parental right to vote vicariously on behalf of children under the age of 18. The Interdisciplinary Seminar Series You’re cordially invited to join us for the Aoki Center’s Spring 2018 Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from, and discuss with, interdisciplinary scholars who will present their research and works in progress which are inspired by, and build upon, critical race studies.
