<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Dr. Esterling,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m the incoming Chair of the Division of Politics, Administration, and Justice at Cal State Fullerton. I’m writing to ask if you might recommend a lecturer for our master’s-level course, POSC 519 Seminar in State and Local Government,
for the upcoming fall semester.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would welcome recommendations for a recent graduate of your PhD program or a current graduate student who is ABD. The course will be offered in-person on Monday nights, 7:00 – 9:45 pm and will enroll about 25 students.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s the course description from the Catalog: “Structure, processes, functions and interrelationships of state and local governments in American society. State, county, municipal and special district government in California as compared
with other states.” <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The course emphasizes comparisons across states (government institutions, political culture, and policy outcomes), as well as the structure of local government in the U.S. Our primary text is
<i>Politics in the American States</i> (Kousser, Michener, and Tolbert), supplemented with journal articles and other readings. We’re happy to share a recent syllabus and support the instructor in course preparation.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have any students who you think may be interested, I would very much appreciate it if you could connect us or have them email me their interest and a recent CV (<a href="mailto:shill@fullerton.edu" target="_blank">shill@fullerton.edu</a>). Thank
you very much for your time and any recommendations you’re able to share.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sincerely,<u></u><u></u></p>
