Tocqueville 21’s New Interns!

Tocqueville 21 is very happy to announce some new additions to our team. Thanks to generous support from the College at the University of Chicago, we have three excellent undergraduate interns assisting with the production of this blog. They’ll be helping us run the ins and outs of everything that happens on the site over the coming months, and each will also contribute original writing. We hope you’ll join us in welcoming them to Tocqueville 21.
