This week, our guest is Pomona College Professor of Politics Susan McWilliams Barndt, the author of An American Road Trip and American Political Thought and Traveling Back: Toward a Global Political Theory. Our conversation ranges from America’s scrambled political vocabulary to the way distinctive American ideas about such things as freedom and equality are bound up in our national literature about road trips.
