Louis Schubert is a Professor of Political Science at City College of San Francisco, where he teaches a wide variety of courses ranging from Political Theory and Environmental Politics to American Government and Terrorism/Counterterrorism. He is lead author of The Irony of Democracy. His “Comics, Power and Society” course, a student favorite, turned his love of the comic book into an academic pursuit. Teaching the Jewish historical and ethical roots of comics at Cal has been a special joy. Being able to offer a course on the relationship between Jews, Judaism, and American thinking deepens the excitement.
