After the Mayor Daley decades, a new mayor, Rahm Emanuel, took the office in May 2011.

Assistant Professor of Politics Carrie Nordlund will chair the panel of participants, which includes Professor of Politics Emeritus Paul Fischer; current Chicago Alderman of the 5th Ward, Hon. Leslie Hairston; senior editor of political newsmagazine In These Times, Dr. David Moberg; and former Chicago Alderman of the 46th Ward, Hon. Helen Shiller.
