Ganz spends most of his academic time concentrating on modern American history and government. His thesis is on--What else?--the decline in political participation in the United States since 1960.
"It's valuable to reflect on my experience in the context of my academic work," he says, "and it's great to find out what undergraduates are thinking."
Ganz says he has not yet decided what he will do when he graduates, although he is considering more academic work.
"I may want to do more academic stuff at the K-School," he says. "Or maybe I'll be ready to take a shot at round two."
"I'll Just take it as it comes," he says.
